Locating Gunze Paints

Jul 05, 2003 11 Replies

Does anyone know of a mail order source in the US for Gunze paints? I've had no luck finding a source, either hobby store or mail order company, that carries a decent supply. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here's a link to the supply lost at King's Hobby in Austin, Texas. Always a good supply in stock.

Have you tried Squadron Mailorder?? Their July flyer had a half page add on Gunze paints. $1.98 per bottle.

I have had the same problem.

If I spray Polly Scale, Aeromaster, or Future over Gunze Aqueous then the Gunze will craze.

This has happened to me about 3 or 4 times.

FWIW I also had cracking problems when putting clear coats over Poly-S. I learned a lesson from that experience and I always put Poly-Scale in my dehydrator for 24 hours before overcoating. Same with Tamiya or Gunze.

For all intents and purposes Polly Scale and Aeromaster are the same exact paint, only the colors are different. I've never had a problem in

I frequently use Tamiya White acrylic as a primer coat for Polly Scale--Never had a problem yet with cracking. OTOH, I always let it dry for at least a day, and I don't spray thick coats of any of this stuff, to minimize the top layer dissolving the bottom. I've run Future over Tamiya also without ever having a problem--same idea--make sure the last coat cures before adding another. I've even used Floquil Railroad Flat thinned with Diosol over all of those acrylic finishes, but in very light coasts--again, no problem. Most of these issues probably arise out of trying to do too much too fast.
