Post subject:  Sonic blue pigment separation

Hey guys, I have some sonic blue nitro where the pigment is separating out regardless of how much I shake and mix it, resulting in dark blue specks appearing in the finish. Done all the usuals - clean gun, fine paint filter, behlen thinner etc. Any advice on how to prevent this?

What pigments did you use? Some combinations and an industrial paint shaker is mandatory.

Hey Brian, it was actually pre-mixed Rothko and Frost nitro so no pigments added by me.

Yeah, that needs a good 20 minutes in the shaker. Take it to your local paint shop and ask them to mix it for you.
