A question for the paint boffins among us

The easiest way to tell the difference between true oil based enamels and water based acrylics is the smell, Oil based paints stink, will give you a headache if working in a closed space. But it seems its all sorted anyway. Matt

G'day Old dog, check out the links in the REMLR site find Dougs Heavy Metal site (not rock music, Amoured Fighting vehicles) he lives and works in Broken Hill just down the road from you, he had/has 4 litre cans of the genuine Olive Drab all you need to do is add a flattening base, I cannot remember the price but it wasn't expensive give it a go cheers Dennis

Thanks Dennis i'll give him a yell! The stuff i've got needs the flattening base too. Does he mix his own as he may be able help me with this lot i've got, it's a few shades too light i reckon

Ace - yup the black i've got is acrylic so it's no good, yer right about the stink though! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
