Re: Anybody here use Tamiya acrylics?
Easy to get result with flat colors, harder if you want a gloss finish.

Re: Anybody here use Tamiya acrylics?
i use tamiya's acrylic thinner to basically dilute every brand of mine acrylic paints and that works just fine. I recommond you to dilute the paint with the ratio of 1paint: 0.5thinner.

Re: Anybody here use Tamiya acrylics?
opps, forgot to say that tamiya's acrylic thinner is X20A, there's an 'A' in the name, otherwise, X20 is the thinner for enamels

Re: Anybody here use Tamiya acrylics?
I suggest you give a try to the "tamiya retarder", to be used with Tamiya's X-20a "thinner" to improve paint flow and airbrush ease of cleaning. Ratio of the retarder to thinned paint is about 1:10.
Using X20A thinner allows me to put back in the jar the unused paint without worries. In these days I'm using Tamiya's Lacquer thinner with their acrylics...results are interesting: good flow, fast dry times, paint seems more durable to scratches and polishing. Non yet used decals on it. Hope this helps :-) |
