ihocky2 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 My current build is coming along nicely and I am getting close to painting. I am going to spray on nitro lacquer but haven't used it in so long there are a couple things I can't remember and didn't find in the search. I will be spraying with an HVLP gun, roughly how much should I thin it by? The other part I can't remember is how many coats to lay down? I plan to spray 3 coats the first day and give it a quick flattening, spray 3 coats the next day and another flattening if needed and 3 more coats the last day. I am not sure with nitro though if that'll give me enough build up? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 I usually spray till the quart is nearly gone. I typically thin about 20%-25% till the last few coats which are thinned 50%. And typically three coats a day. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
