Re: How long do Zero Paints stay?

Both TheSaint111 and I had recent experience on our DBR9s with Zero paints from over a year ago in generation 1 bottles. Both of us found quite severe evaporation.

Steve offered to send me a replacement bottle but unfortunately both it and my order have disappeared into the 4th dimension known as "lost parcels".

Because I couldn't wait any longer, I decided to re-dilute it with Gunze Mr. Color Thinners. It worked a treat. You can see the results in my DBR9 thread - IMHO absolutely great paint.

As far as I know, Dennis also re-thinned his paint (don't know what with) and also it sprayed just fine.

BTW the bottle was stored for the previous year in 2 ziplocka bags and it still evaporated.
