    Hey Guys, First time here and I love this site:) Full disclosure, I'm the guy behind Model Paint Solutions and the AB cleaning article previously mentioned. The turning coin is an apt pic for this discussion:). I will try and be succinct but that's not easy with this subject. I've gotten into...
