2009年4月29日 · PS paints contain additives that make them resistant to some thinners, and cleanup would have to be done with acetone. You can possibly still find the PC paints which should work with the normal X-20A thinner. No, don't use water. Use isopropyl alcohol or Tamiya X-20A acrylic thinner or proper airbrush cleaning solution.

2014年10月29日 · Re blending, you can easily blend any paints in jars. I have built quite a few tanks and always make custom colours for them. In terms of thinning them, the goal for airbrushes is the texture of milk. Typically this is 30-50% Tamiya X/XF paint and then either Acryllic Thinner (or if using the slightly chalky XF paints try Tamiya Laquer Thinner).

2018年3月25日 · I painted this Nissan Silvia body using Tamiya Translucent paint. There was interest in my previous translucent paint job, so I decided to take pictures of each step to show how to do it. I used these colors: For each coat of paint, I hold the can about 6 - 8 inches away from the body and spray i...

2021年10月21日 · 1. Prime, I used to use Tamiya spray but now uses Mr Surfacer. This is even more important as RC cars are treated more harshly than static models. I used to use Tamiya spray primers but now due to logistics and cost, uses Mr Surfacer. 2. Sand between coats, I don't do that but good model maker does. This brings out the shine.

2023年9月3日 · Tamiya paints are excellent, one of the best on market. Unfortunately they work well only with airbrush. One more thing. Tamiya paints smell quite bad. Maybe it is not the worst smell in the world but you will not be happy. On the other hand, real acrylics ( Tamiya are not acrylics as far as I know) does not have any smell, which is biggest ...

2011年11月15日 · Tamiya paints are very good, and the flat colours work well with a brush straight out of the bottle. But for the camo on the FAV, you're best off using an airbrush or TS spray cans to do it. Airbrushing the acrylics will look just as good as the TS sprays.

2012年1月6日 · Tamiya Paints are indeed awesome. After having used another brand to paint an Optima Mid lexan shell, I couldn't agree more. The only reason I'd dabble with the Auto paints is for greater color options (especially for blue - as my LHS only has French blue, blue, light metallic blue and metallic blue.)

2019年12月26日 · The only thing I can accuse Tamiya colors of is that the color of the lid often does not match the final result. There are partly considerable differences. But otherwise Tamiya spray paints are still a reference for me, which no other manufacturer has reached so far. Of course these are only my personal experiences...

2024年9月25日 · IIRC a lot of Tamiya paints (I think TS paints) became unavailable in the EU for a while for labelling issues. Tamiya reprinted the labels and stock returned again quick enough, but for a while it was hard to get some paints. If this is a similar problem then maybe Tamiya can resolve it with a Canada-specific label.

2021年8月5日 · My wife wants to paint her Sand Scorcher metallic purple. Only problem is, Tamiya dont make a metallic purple in the TS series. There is however a metallic purple in the PS series. The other thought we had was using the TS series purple as a base and putting PS Lame Flake (glitter!) over the top ...
