Dropped into the place where I've bought enamel paint for who-knows-how-long, made several selections of my favorite brand (band of color around top of can), paid for the stuff and went home. Found a warm spot, opened can, mixed paint, got brush, applied to what I wanted to paint. (everything going nicely) Finished with that color for the time being, capped the can, dropped brush into container of paint thinner. ... What's this? No cloud of paint? It isn't comming out of the brush? Swished it around vigorously. No paint cloud, this stuff ain't comming off the brush! Re-newed thinner, gets 'old' sometimes, you know. Same. No cloudy thinner, this stuff isn't being disolved by paint thinner! Maybe it's too cold? @#$$ no, it comes off on my fingers! Read label on paint can... What the @#$$ is "Latex-enamel"? Mix of latex paint and enamel paint? Who'z brilliant idea is this @#$&? Try cleaning with water. Cloudy water, paint's comming off. Read label again, yep, same brand I've always gotten. Go back to store, ask what this @#$& is. They said, "Oh, it's just enamel paint, works just like any enamel paint, good stuff!". Yeah... right. (If 'looks' could kill, salesman would be very, very sick shortly.) Came home, began brooding.
So, what's with this 'latex-enamel' paint? Anyone ever used it before? Checked several places, the only real enamel paint I can find you have to buy by the gallon. Smaller containers available, but you do NOT want to know the price! That means I'm gonna have to learn how to use this stuff, doesn't it? Oh @#!$, what'll it do to an airbrush??
I'm so @#$ thrilled I could just... no I can't, I'd have to bathe and chjange my clothes...
