How do you know what paint to use on my model

[STARMAKER.REBEL]

That " glue " is solvent .
it dissolves the plastic at the joint and creates a weld .
the solvent then evaporates completely leaving the new , solid connection .

It also dissolves the acrylic resin in the paint .
It will dissolve enamel paint also .
Those types of plastic cement are essentially the same formula as many airbrush cleaners .
Butyl acetate and acetone . Sometimes also butanone or ethyl acetate when it's the " fast setting " variety .

You can glue pre-painted parts in place but you need to use a smaller brush to apply a tiny amount of that solvent to only the point of contact .
Dab on a small amount of solvent to the tab of the part and then quickly install it .
that way you avoid flooding the joint with solvent .

If you don't have a spare brush you can still use the bottle's brush - just hit the lip of the bottle with the brush to knock off the majority of the solvent prior to touching it to the part to be attached .

Maybe use Nano Brushes that I accidently purchased?? I have a dozed of those.

I lost my post somehow.

I suffer from Memory losses and I keep forgetting what paint is Acrylic and what paint is lacquer; what paint is flat and what paint is gloss. I am disabled due to this and live off of Social Security Disability Income.

SoI decided to make a list of Acrylic Paint and Lacquer Paint. The way I did it was I looked up my paint in SCALEhobbyist.com and copy and pasted the description into a Word Processor. I had to add the paint number like what is shown in the attachment picture.

Lets use the Flat Tire black... (number H77)

In this picture I have highlighted in Blue the name and type that I need to copy and the number in the picture is H77. Then I paste the blue highlighted words in a
word processor and add the number of the paint, H77 would be Tire Black - Flat and I add : H77 so that it looks like::
"Tire Black - Flat: H77."

(This only works for SCALEhobbyist.com) ((My example is below the picture))
