Bad Can of Dullcote

[Sirfoldalot]

I would contend that a piece of styrofoam will act different than a plastic RR car?
What does it say on the can?

Dullcote is a lacquer.
Here is the data sheet for the Rustoleum matte finish in the green can:

styrfoam is basicly expanded polystyrene so I wouldn't expect a significant difference ,The can , contains Toluene, Xylene , and Acetone ...that should dissolve quite a few plastics. Thats a pretty wicked combination . Unfinished metal or wood should be ok.

I have some Red Devil clear lacquer and it behaves similar it will eat styrene as well.

Modern lacquers are made from acrylic resin starting in the 50's. So its probably a lacquer.

They also make this paint in a white can. The pic shows gloss, but the description is for flat.
