I am loving them!
They spray beautiful
And I've finally found a white which sprays well, the bottom is 3 coats and looks glossy and smooth. That could be from the gloss black undercoat though

The white was what caught my eye as well
Ya, you are making me a convert
Gunze has so many paint types, have to be careful. Such a pain to get here in Canada
Now I know to look for the aqueous line, not the cellulose stinky ones I got.
Paul did a good review on the GX2 metal paints....those look great

Agreed. This build has made me put an egg-4 on my list for the Spook alone.

Great work so far!
