Always better to remove paint from a cement area. If nothing else, will bubble paint. These liquid cements work by dissolving the polymer (usually polystyrene) into one another (from the two or more parts to be joined.)

Works tight through acrylic. It will lift the paint off but if you careful to just dab a little on it wont mess up the paint to bad. Cant recall ever using it on lacquer.

Just like what Dennis Valencia said. It does NOT include glue. It's a good kit. If you need help, try your local hobby shop. They'll show you what kind of glue you need, etc.

Yes, this model does require glue. I used about two tubes of glue building the model.

Model glue won't work. You can use epoxy or super glue. Something like Gorilla Glue would also work.

I've never used lacquer with mine. I've sprayed a lot of oil based polyurethane and latex paint. Poly is the easiest. The trick is getting your material to the correct viscosity. A little trial and error and test sprays, this gun is easy to use.

If this is your first model, you will need a sharp razor type knife and model cement. if you want to paint it as well, you'll need model paints. The model comes in grey. I know Michaels has most of what you need. So does Hobby Lobby. Fit each piece together in each step Before gluing together, incase you need to make any adjustments. Once it's glued, your screwed. lol

not necessarily. It all depends on if your real big on detail. if u are then I highly recommend painting before gluing. if not then u can paint after u glue.

At least glue. I did not realize that the model needed this and did not give the model as a gift because the child was too young to work at this level. The model does not say what types of paints are needed. So I would have to say yes. You will need to buy the glue and some paints.

Yes. I did using FolkArt brand paint (not the outdoor kind because it's too watery) and coating it with Krylon sealer. Looks amazing.

Yes. No problem. Paint shops might say the urethane clear might not lay properly over acrylic lacquer but it does. Just give your Duplicolor several days to cure to be sure.

I have been spraying with fixative. When dry I coat with acrylic medium. i think that should do the trick. I may just test it and get back to you.

Personally, I would apply several coats of a clear polyurethane spray. Start with very light coats that will dry very quickly. That way, even if the polyurethane tends to dissolve the finish, by the time you apply a thicker coat (which will sit in the wet state longer), it will be unable to reach (and dissolve) the original lacquer. A tip: read the spray can directions. Most will tell you to invert the can and spray until no liquid id being dispensed, so as to leave the spray orfice unclogged.

Actually they just changed the labeling of the cans Isbelia, the contents are the same in each container. It is a very good product but any clear plastic surfaces will be permanently fogged so apply before you put on the clear pieces. The use of Tamaya's masking tape over clear pieces that must be installed works well. I do not know what your project is but you may e mail me at flotch1962@yahoo.com. Always glad to help others!

No, paint and glue is not included. Builders usually have their own preferences when it comes to the brand of paint and even the type of glue, and some may even use more than one type of glue. However, most kits do come with a list on the box of what colors of paint you will need to make it look like the car on the box. Don't let any of this dissuade you, Kit building is great fun and I still build at the age of 54!

I have Dupli Color paint and it says on the can, Enamel Lacquer. Will it work? Sure sounds like it will.

I used a small amount of lacquer thinner...working without it being thinned a bit was like brushing honey on! Thinning it a little made it wonderful to work with, and the finish is awesome! Did a wood top for making a bathroom vanity out of an antique buffet. Wonderful product!
