Just tried Humbrol's new lacquer spray

Well, I can't say anything about the nozzle yet as I decanted the paint and used the airbrush instead. I'll get back when I have tried it directly from the can. Anyway, the paint went on without any hazzle at all and layed down nice and smooth. It smell like a rats ass so please wear a respirator when you spray this, just like you all do with any paint!? I took a chance and painted my bumpers to the GTX before the Alclad2 chrome-treatment. Had to strip them down again and start over as the enamel I first used got a bit thick and coverd the details between the back-up lights. If it turns out that this paint is easy to work with and gives a good result it is a bargain compared to Tamiyas spray cans as you get 50% more paint for the same price here in Sweden.
Anyway, this is what the front bumper looks like for the moment.

Re: Just tried Humbrol's new lacquer spray

I tried the Silver color out of the spray can.

The nozzle is like Tamiya. Good pressure. The paint look good and is very durable (I used it on a Computer case, and it still look good after few month)
