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. Another vote for Mr. Color thinner. I mixed some Tamiya smoke with clear blue and it worked great sprayed on brass gun barrels over a metallic base. I'd say 60% thinner 40% paint, but I was doing almost filter coats. I now use Mr. Color leveling thinner almost exclusively with Tamiya acrylics. Much less tip dry than X-20A. 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 ... Thin X-22 with X-20A acrylic thinner, at about two parts thinner to one part X-22. Airbrush at a lower pressure from a closer distance. Tamiya Clear Red vs Forgeworld Angron Red - + GENERAL PCA QUESTIONS + - The Bolter and Chainsword Jump to contentI use Vallejo for 2 reasons; 1. due to delivery restrictions, it is difficult for me to get spray cans (or any type) and 2. I can easily mix up colors I want. Mixing PS paints while possible, is a pain. I actually hate them when I was building static models but they are great for my RC.

Cool, thanks. What does water cleanup paint mean? I hope that doesn't mean if my model gets wet the dried paint becomes wet again! This is incorrect. While X-21 Flat Base is an additive to make gloss colours flat, X-22 Clear is a gloss finish in its own right. A side note, I tried the same thing with Mr Color lacquer, using their thinners not water of course, results wasn't too good. I actually find the Tamiya Translucent a to be a nice even finish when brushed on imo. I did my Lego 911 RSR lights with clear yellow and you can hardly notice any brush strokes, it really seemed to flow and hide any brush marks just fine. The paint can be also thinned for airbrushing using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner. Using Tamiya Lacquer Thinner will yield faster drying results and a harder finish.

Why us

It sounds like you are trying to brush paint instead of spraying? My advice is not to. Clear paint usually looks terrible when brushed. I tried brushing them when I do static models but now airbrush them these days. I use the FW Clear Red without an airbrush, it's akin to the old GW inks, so water based and can be thinned with Lahmian Medium or specific airbrush thinner if required. To achieve a “Candy” appearance you want a metallic base and a clear colour coat. Experiment with base coats such as chrome, high metallic flake silver or gold. when it comes to "clear coloured" paints, I have the usual jars of the Tamiya clear paints like X-23 clear red, X-27 clear blue etc. Painting clear red over a metallic gold will indeed produce a nice "candy red" finish, think Iron Man's suit of armor.

Graininess with Tamiya gloss colors (and clears) is often the result of the paint not being wet enough for it to level. This often happens at the edge of the spray pattern, resulting in each pass leaving a grainy edge which is not covered by successive passes. I've brushed the Tamiya clear red, needs thinning slightly more to slow it drying really. Works for small areas fine so a Maine is fine but a rhino isn't as good. 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.Candy paint" is basically just any transparent paint over a base of another color, usually silver or gold. But you can use any paint as a base. Since it's your first experiment with this and your using Tamiya spray cans I'd recommend their transparent red over the metallic red ,, the one that looks like metallic pink, That will be easier to get a consistent color with less light and dark areas then using strait silver or gold as a base. Use light mist coats to build up the depth of candy you want then clearcoat it after it's dried a few days. I wouldn't use them straight out of the pot. I made a 50/50 mix in a separate 40ml dropper pot, works great.
