I am so angry >:(I .was working on a project today and decided to use a bottle of krylon paint that matched the color I wanted I sprayed the color and came back twelve hours later only to find the paint hadn't changed at all in the past I have had similer results with these paints and will never use this product again or even patronize the buseness that sold it

What did the paint do ? I have on occasion used Krylon, although usually as a base coat and haven't had any problems.

Oh I airbrushed a black base coat by the way it has been over twenty four hours since I painted the kit and am about to go put a whole new coat of model master paint on it in hopes of saving this build ( the paint still hasn't dried so I will be using a quick method of stipping paint) krylon paints are too oily and are not fit to go on a model car

Not looking for an arguement, But I think you may be
going a bit overboard.
The business that sold you the paint, had nothing to
do with the results you got! He's selling a name brand
product, to try to earn an honest living. It's a job... The
same as yours, and mine. Think about it my friend...

Could also be an adverse reaction between base coat and top coat. Not sure if you tried the paint by itself on a scrap piece of plastic or not to know. Hope ya get it figured out, I use Krylon all the time and have had no problems with it. So I'm not sure what happened on your end.

Worst product ever? I think the "Magic Jack" beats it hands down.

I have a few friends who are professional painters of cars, models, motorcycles, signs, etc. One of the rules they have taught me (and one I learned the hard way) is not to mix paint brands and not to use a paint for a material for which it was not designed nor formulated. Do not use house paint on a model car  I use Plasticote primer on most of my builds and it has worked for many different paints, including Krylon. I did find that Krylon took a little longer to dry and cure, about a week, but it did dry. It also had a bad smell for about a week  I do not mix top coats, including colour and clear. I just painted my Hudson with Shimrins white pearl and blue pearl and clear, with no problems. It dried quick and I was able to wet sand and polish in a few hours. Had I used a different clear, I would have had a problem. I use Testors with Testors and Tamiya with Tamiya. If the primer you used was not compatible with the colour coat, that could cause your drying problem. You said you used a bottle, so did you run it through an airbrush? If so, what did you use to thin it with? The thinner may have caused a problem if it was not compatible with the paint. Not all thinners are compatible with all paints. Paints come in various bases, oil, acrylic, lacquer, water, enamel and who knows what else. Make sure your thinner, primer, base and clear are all compatible before you paint. Don't blame the vendor, he only sold you what you wanted. Chalk this up to a learning experience |

Can't recall just how many times I've told all you klowns but,
Here's a few more... test body first... test body... don't have an extra body..? Test hood or door or any compatible plastic will do.
Now let's review... test body... test body.. test body...! Any questions, good !Hizoot

You must have gotten a bad can. I use Krylon all the time. Their semi-flat black was fantastic!!! NEVER use Fusion Krylon....it is bad....all others work great for me. Still wet days later means there is a issue. Even soft drink spilled would dry up after a day!

I've used Krylon on a lot of model parts with no problems at all.
I think a lot of it has to do with a reaction between the base coat and the top coat (assuming that the base coat WASN'T krylon).
heck, i've even used the el-cheap-o $1.29 a can wal mart brand spray bombs on models with great results.
prep is 80% of a good paint job, and as paul said, when in doubt, do some testing before you paint the actual model.
heck, i even spray testors laquer over a krylon base coat with no problems....I do it all the time.
I normally use Krylon "Nickel" for my base color on almost every paint job that I do, and then use Testors laquer, followed by testors clear laquer, and I have never had a problem.
actually, how about this?
I just posted a pic of my sons pinewood derby car thst we're currently building in the "non showrod projects section".
the paint is testors aztec gold laquer, with krylon pumpkin orange on the nose, sprayed over the testors gold, and then testors clear laquer over everything.
worked like a charm and the krylon dried within an hour.

Hard to go wrong with automotive lacquer primers , and lacquer or urethane topcotes ... I stay completely away from spray enamels such as Krylon and Wal-mart brand enamel paints.. different drying agents in all the different brands .. and you're right - they do not dry well anyway so a little deviation in the chemical makeup results in the problem you're having .. it's a damned shame it messed up your kit and I would be fuming as well ...return the can for a refund .. chalk it up , , and make your move to Plasticote lacquers with any part number with "3" numbers .. example - T-235 , T-236 etc... lacquer primers, lacquer paints are great to work with ! Sorry to hear of your misfortune ..

Sorry to hear of your misfortune .. I didn't know about the '3' thing. good to know. "todays" lacquers are much more plastic friendly than the old days |

I wan't really return it because i messed up the can by the way I was able to use a dip method involving testors bottle paint and dipping the stripped parts into it it gave a good flat look after some clean up and the paint on the table still hasn't dried
