In the process of accumulating materials for the just arrived Amati Fifie which will be an RC boat - and of course will get very wet. I did a quick search but my question wasn't answered fully
OK with that statement have looked at the usual Tamiya and Vallejo model paints and these may or may not be waterproof. Their advertising for sure isn't forthcoming. Then there is the ridiculous cost for the amount of paint needed for a boat that is 28 or so inches long. I'll probably consider a craft shop for some of their hobby paint instead. I'm aware that acrylics when dry can be water resistant at a minimum, but are there additives that can fully water proof them? Or should they have a seal coat too? Or just use an oil based paint complete ith oder and very slow drying times,
