I just used a couple of AK Extreme Metal colors that I picked up from LHS.  They spray and look great (sprayed over Mr Color Gloss Black) but noticed paint wearing off when handled.  Seemed more susceptible to this than Alclad.  Has anyone else experienced this?

 

My limited experience with the AK colours led me to believe that they're among the more robust metallic paints I've used, probably second only to the Tamiya TS/AS ranges. However, I did note that they were far less robust without a primer coat underneath them.

I’m spraying over a thin primer coat. Very robust.  I can tape over the paint, handle roughly, no issues noted so far.   Pretty impressive stuff, just really sticks up the house!
