1. is acetone ok for thinning out lacquer paint if not what do i use....

2. are the model master metalizer already thin enoguh from teh bottle or do i have to thin them otu more...

3. some these metallizer say buff it after 10min what does that mean... cause doesn't buffign the metallic colour make it look uneven....?

1) Use lacquer thinner, acetone won't even harm it.

2)Never used the metallizers before

3)It's not like buffing a metallic paint, all you do is take a dry cotton cloth and buff it till it shines. Don't use rubbing compound or wax. They have a sealer for them that is like a clear coat and keeps the metallizer from rubbing off.

4)Same as number 1.
