i didnt use a brand that is well known it came from a discount shop.most big companies make colour change nail polish
you need to have a base coat of black,i didnt use primer mainly because i didnt want the painted surface becoming to thick,i did put on 2 coats of tamiya black (spray can)
i thinned it with nail polish remover (non accetate) you need to have a really thinned mixture as it dries very quickly,it was then covered with tamiyia clear (bottle) it seems to have worked, there may be other ways to use nail polish .the colour range is amazing hope that helps

Yeah - let him have the honda Dave. Round the ears. Hi Paul.
How long did YOU leave it between the colour and clear coats and what did you use to clean your gun I mean airbrush after spraying the nailpolish?
OOh lacquer thinner on your gun - would have to be like turps on a cats arse.

about 2 days before applying the clear coat
i used turps to clean out the airbrush works fine
