Golden High Flow paint question

[retired & glad]

I am wondering if anyone has used the Golden High Flow acrylic paint for the models and if so, what pro's and con's  you had with this paint. I have plenty and can get it locally. Most parts will be primed with duplicolor primer. I use this paint when airbrushing pictures and it has a bold color selection. I have used the craft paint with very good success but want to change over to Golden if it will hold good to the primer. I don't handle the models very much after finishing except to dust them.

Thanks for any info.

Get some plastic spoons and do some experimenting. Spray with your usual primer and then try the paint you want to use. Allow to dry fully and see how it is.

Thanks Tony for the info. I am going through that process now and so far it is working ok. I belong to a airbrush forum and there are a lot of people using Golden for painting pictures on Yupo paper which is a plastic paper. From my using Yupo, I have to let it dry overnight to completely dry before any handling of it. 

I'll relay the pro's and con's of what I find here also.

 

Thanks

I sprayed some Golden High Flow paint on a body that was primed with Duplicolor primer today and I'm not sure if I like the golden for painting cars. I knew it was a transparent paint but it took forever to get a opaque finish. It would be good to tint windows with or do a flames project on the front. It will take at least 2 more runs of painting before I feel good about an even coat with no fades since it is a transparent paint. I had to open the trigger stop a lot so it would spray a lot of paint and since I was spraying a lot of paint, I was a looking for some runs but none showed up. Tip dry on the needle and nozzle wasn't bad. I wiped a few times but that is normal for me. My compressor got very hot since I was using a lot of air since I was spraying around 30psi with a badger krome with the larger needle and nozzle in it.

I'm going to play around with the paint some more and see if it is worth buying more colors to paint cars with.
