Post by gaz45 »

I've painted up a truck cab with zero paints and it's been left to dry for about 4 days for the clear coat i have got some mr color gx100 which i mixed with mr color levelling/thinner at about 6:3 and it has turned white as you can see

I would say you need to mix 1 part of GX 100 to 3 parts of thinner.

The GX 100 is very thick and requires a lot of thinning - re mix and try on an old model - you should see a massive difference
