Can I check enamel model paint in my luggage to fly oversees?
Jim P. asked:
Can I put model paint in my checked luggage? Or is this against the rules when flying commercially? There are 10 jars at .5 oz each.

Enamel model paint (like from Testor’s) is flammable and not allowed on board a plane, either as carry one or checked luggage, so no - you cannot bring it. Herfnerd
No! It is flammable liquid. You would have to ship it as cargo, and pack & document it in accordance with dangerous goods regulations….which would make it very expensive paint….just buy some when you get to your destination! silentnonrev
