Thanks all for the paint info.

John, I may just have to try the Duplicolor yellow lacquer you mentioned as my first experiment with a new yellow. I too am a big fan of lacquers.

I’ve used Rustoleum lacquers with great success, but I believe they are only available in red, black, white, and silver. I’ve used all but the silver, mainly since I’ve never seen it where I get the others. Ace carries Valspar lacquer and I’ve wondered if they were rebranded Rustoleum — same 4 colors available.

Also helpful, I’ve tested both Model Masters and Testors lacquers over the Rustoleum, with no issues. This gives you large can price savings for base colors to use under the little cans of lacquer.
