What exactly is Alclad 2? How is it different than say a Tamiyaor Gunze "metal" paint.

Also, how is it applied and what is it thinned with?

Thanks

Alclad is a laquer which comes ready to spray straight from the bottle.
Heres a LINK to a feature about using it.
Hope this helps.

Hisham, they make other paints too...all laquer.
While they say to use the Alclad black base, you can use tamiya spray gloss black too{rattle can}.
