Tamiya acrylic paints are made from water-soluble acrylic resins and are excellent for either brush painting or air-brushing. These paints can be used on styrene resins, Styrofoam, wood, plus all of the common model plastics. The paint covers well, flows smoothly and can be blended easily. Prior to curing, paint can be washed away with plain water. I wouldn't use them straight out of the pot. I made a 50/50 mix in a separate 40ml dropper pot, works great.

Make sure the screw cap as well as the thread of the jar are clean of any paint residues and carefully wipe away excess paint. Hi just tagged onto this old thread but have restarted airbrushing and have been experimenting the last week or so with Xtracrylix paints, looking for some advice on Tamiya gloss varnish. I think general tamiya paints are thinned 1:1 with paint using tamiya thinners and sprayed at 15psi, that’s worked for me. Expect to use three or four coats and clean your brush between panels, painting a whole panel before moving on.After all these to and fo, I cannot believe I completely forgot this: YES, YOU CAN IN FACT BRUSH PAINT PS PAINTS! If you have the color you want in PS of course, and frankly, it will be better as they are the right paint for doing the job and paint from spray are well thinned down ready to go. Hi MentalGuru, for the longest time, I found Tamiya clear gloss and gloss acrylics difficult to work with. Recently I've found that a 1.5:1 Tamiya thinner to paint ratio works really well. As with everything, a light coat followed by successive wet coats seems to yield fantastic results that look even better once it's levelled and cured for at least 48hrs... It takes a long time to dry, this won't be a problem when doing big batches but I was experimenting on an old Predator and despite waiting for what seemed like forever I still did the second coat too soon and it glooped up horribly. Solve the paint a good amount and then load the brush with a very small amount of paint. Place very light even layers. You can combine this with the above and do a single stroke all the way.

I said I wanted to do this on the traditionally gold bits of the GK armor - the wording, found on the shoulder pads, and in 4 or so places on the body of the armor, I don't think an airbrush will save time there!!! Gosh, think of how many hours it would take to tape off 90% of the model that I wanted to stay silver. You may also lightly mist a fresh coat of Tamiya Clear with Mr.COLOR LEVELING THINNER prior to applying another coat of Tamiya Clear.
