Hi all, I am lighting a Star Destroyer with fiber optic cable and I want to opaque the inside of the model plastic to prevent unwanted light transmitting through the body of the model. It will be unavoidable without painting the sides of the fiber optic cable while opaquing the inside of the model. Am I safe in using a black acrylic (such as Tamiya) without harming the fiber optic cable? I will be thinning the paint with the prescribed 2:1 paint to acrylic thinner. Love to know if anyone has had problems with that. I'm pretty sure the paint alone isn't an issue. It's just the thinner that I use with the paint to make it flow well in my airbrush that I worry about. Thinning with water doesn't work well. Thanks for any feedback.
Cheers,
Alan
