I need some info from the guys and gals that have experience with the HOK paints. I’ve read around the forum that Plasticote primer and Duplicolor clear can be used with HOK. If so, what part # would I need to get for each? I was on the TPC Global site earlier and they have a huge selection of HOK in 4 oz. bottles. I’m working on a Revell 1/25 1965 Chevy pickup truck and trying to decide on what color I want to paint it. I’ve about settled on the scheme I want. I have an Eastwood dual action gravity feed airbrush but I have only ever used Testors and Tru-match Nascar colors. Is there a big learning curve with the HOK paints? What thinner do I need to clean my airbrush, just some good automotive lacquer thinner? Spraying the basecoat is fairly straightforward, correct? It comes in a 4 oz($10.95) pour and spray bottle. What about the KF03 Silver to Green kameleon? It comes in a 4 oz ready to spray bottle($24.95). Do I need to have some reducer on hand if it doesn't spray properly? I would love to see it on a car. Should I try just a kandy color($10.95) to start with rather than the flip-flop paint to get a feel for how it lays down? What about metal flake? Will my airbrush tip(.3mm) easily spray the .2mm hex flakes or find some smaller flakes? Do I mix the flakes with the color coat or the first couple layers of clear? If it is in the clear, then I need to order the HOK clear, correct? What about the dry powders? Do they mix with color layer or the clearcoat? Has anyone used their marbilizer? If so, post some pics. I would like to see how it looks on a model. Also some details about applying it. I know this is a lot to ask at one time, but I would really appreciate some help from the more experienced modelers familiar with the HOK. I have to watch my pennies and don’t want to make a huge mistake. Thanks again, Mark PS-I would love to see some models painted with HOK.
