Hi, I was wondering if any other modellers have experiences using commercial aerosol spray paints/clearcoats, in whether:
1. Did it damage the plastic
2. Did it affect cementing/gluing
3. Did it affect decals sticking to the surface after painting

I found this article:
Spray paints in hobby shops are specially formulated for plastic models - they have a "cool" chemical composition that's harmless to delicate plastic parts. Paints in auto-parts and hardware stores, however, are quite the opposite. Most of these fast-drying paints contain "hot" solvents that can damage plastic. To use one of these hot paints on plastic, you'll need a barrier of primer between the paint and the plastic.

I know this reply might be a bit too late but I have been using commercial aerosol sprays and clear coat on the models I decided to spray. I spray it on bare plastic without any primer and it works like a charm. The answer is No to all the 3 questions asked above.

On a side note, Do you all pre-thin all the paints before use or thin as you need?
