Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
I have only sprayed acrylics and metalizer. It is only the acrylics(tamiya) are the ones that I get that fine orange peel on. The metalizer came out gorgeous though. Perhaps laquers are more self leveling? I have taken tamiya laquer out of the can and will hopefully try it out something next week.
Like Vric said, compound will take out the OP. But I really do not want to be componding every little thing I spray!

But the good thing is that im getting the hang of the airbrush. I actually really like it alot better than spray paint. One more question, see how you warm cans up so the paint flows better, Do you warm the paint your going to use on your airbrush? PS: Martbee, i wish i could get those results that you get with your airbrush on my previously built models which i painted with spray paints. You have no idea how much i had to polish

Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
no, you warm a spraycan to give higher pressure to the spraycan. Since you can choose the pressure (PSI) with your compressor with an airbrush, there is no need at all to heat your paint

Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
Yea that is the cool thing about draining the paint from a can. I mean you wont have to thin the paint. Although I have heard of people thinning it with gunze thinner for good results. I personally think it does not need to be thinned but who am I for saying that when I havent even done it yet! Also another good thing is that tamiya makes some mixed colors like their bright red(TS-49) which is scuderia red that are some odd ratios to mix with ain airbrush. Finally they are laquers which polish out to a terrific shine! One a low note watch out for draining the can as I have had a bad experience with paint blowing up in my face... And yea just not good.
Succesfully I did it by attatching a thin straw directly to the tamiya nozzle. Connect the straw to the airbrush bottle. Put a piece of masking tape over the bottle with a hole for the straw and some random vents to gas the paint out as you are spraying. Once it is full then stir it for a while(5-10 minutes). Then open it hourly and stir it. You can hear it gass our as you open the bottle. Stir it again. Come back. I did it five times till I thought it was gassed out enough. Hard part now is spraying it! BTW I was thinking of doing a how-to on it. Do you guys think I should?

I have a question that is a bit off topic but hey its about paint. I was thinking of doing my Integra in a two tone paint. Using Dupli Color automotive primer, dupli color automotive color, then airbrushing some Tamiya Acrylic black on the roof, and then airbrushing some Dupli Color Automotive Clear coat. Will they react? Should i use the Tamiya Acrylic Clear coat? Whats the best? I want to airbrush the roof though. Should i just clear the whole car with Tamiya Acrylic Clear?

Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
From what I've seen in the past, DupliColor and Tamiya dont mix. Also heres a rule for painting, I apply it to models as well; never cross breed, stick with the same brand and same type from primer to clear.

Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
I would have to disagree with Mike on this one. I dont see why tamiya ACRYLIC would not go over duplicolor. Now tamiya LAQUER might be another story.
But to answer Joehams question, I wouldnt not spray tamiya gloss colors. They do not polish well and they take a long time to harden. About the clear coat, tamiyas acrylic would also work but like I said it will take long to harden. Testors laquers would actually work over tamiya acrylics. It may sound funny but it does work! They are not hot at all so it wont crack over the acrylic. Also it turns hard in a week and polishes out like any other laquer.

What types/brands of colors do you guys use to airbrush model cars and get a glossy finish?

Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
I did not mean that it would not get glossy, it just doesnt polish out as well. When I wetsanded my F189 (which was X-7) it didnt turn out as glossy as a laquer finish but it was still very glossy. But the main problem was its drying time, which I hear can be solved via food deyhydrator.
I would test out what you would like to try and see how it works. It would not be safe not to test things out, especially when it is your first time. I have yet to succesfully airbrush a body. I have used Tamiya TS sprays with flying colors. Their sprays are so wonderful, and polish out so nicely.

Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
I know some modeller that tried Tamiya Clear acrylic (X-22 I think) and it seem to never dry.
I personally don't like working with tamiya acrylic paint for body. Engine, interor, chasis it's fine, but not body. just my opinion
