Use a mask for the 2K clear. You don't want to breath that stuff.

Also Dupli-Color has a new 1K clear that I have used. I like it with none of the downsides of the 2K.

The general rule is Purple Power for Enamel and primers.

91% alcohol for lacquers & urethane.

If it doesn't come off in one try the other.

BTW 70% alcohol doesn't work. Must be 91%

If it is Lacquer or Urethane you will need 91% alcohol.

If it is Enamel & most primers you will need Purple Power/ Castrol Super clean.

Most people say they used a bright white. But I used Wimbledon White because I liked the contrast to Poppy Red & Guardsman Blue.

I thought the Poppy Red and Guardsman Blue looked better to me. This is a model of the restored (replica) that is running in the historic races.

How do you guys get alcohol to work? I've never had any luck with it, even when soaked overnight.

Make sure you are using 91%. 70% won't work. The 91% is harder to find but will do the job.
