Re: tamiya ts-83 question
I've never used the product, so I don't have any first hand experience, but from what I read (in Japanese), the spray might damage bare plastic, or come off with a masking tape. That sounds like the paint is some kind of hot lacquer (unlike the usual synthetic lacquer TS sprays) with weaker adhesion. When using a paint like this, I'd use Dupli-Color (or similar automotive spray). I know Dupli-Color gloss paint will damage plastic, but its primer doesn't, so I'd experiment with gray primer, then gloss black, followed by Tamiya TS-83.

Re: tamiya ts-83 question
I've tried only one small experiment with TS-83 Silver and 84 Gold and was disappointed with the results. As suggested I did it over Tamiya Black then shortly later sprayed the metallics. It seems to provide a fairly tough and smooth surface but left a slightly mottled effect. If this is Tamiya's attempt to create an Alclad surface in a spray can it left me wanting to stick with Alclad. It is also a lot more expensive then the regular Tamiya synthetic lacquers , which I use a lot of. I'll experiment with it again but not anytime soon.

Re: tamiya ts-83 question
any gloss black acrylic spray should do. avoid matte or semi-matte black though
