I've been hearing some rumors that Alclad is going to start (or has started) producing some regular colors in an enamel form. Has anyone seen these products or tried them out? From what I hear, they are supposed to be airbrush ready, rapid dry and will be available in a wide range of colors.

So far this rumour hasn“t reached me. Do you have a link to this news?

Which is exactly why I'm switching to three part polyurethane clears now. Alclad's answer to clear coat is less than satisfactory. I'd be interested in seeing how the Alclad Enamel Paint lays down though. If it's really smooth then it would do gloss coats a lot of justice. We'll see..........
