I base what I stated on Model Railroader Magazine and Walthers who both stated 
this fact years ago. Bob in Kalispell

While I can certainly understand Latex house paint being different and cannot 
speak for mass marketed "model" paints; I do know for a fact that factory paint 
jobs on brass models from Korea are done with automotive pigments and colors.  
At least two of the builders are close to a Hyundai plant and take the paint 
match coupons we provide to Hyundai to be matched - with automotive paints.



Considering all of the super intricate paint highlighting available today on 
some cars and certainly motorcycles, this smells a bit more like a myth; but 
again I can only speak factually of models I've imported painted in Korea...

 It's true. You can verify it by taking some latex house paint, thinning it, 
and trying to spray it through your airbrush. It will sputter and clog.
