Never used Testors spray paint but recently bought one can of primer.
And I found than it significantly less stinky then Tamiya's
(and little bit cheaper)
Who can compare both products?

I HAVE USED BOTH AND HAVE FOUND THAT TAMIYA ONCE AGAIN IS FAR BETTER. !!!!
The air to paint mixture i found with the Testors to be to "low-soft" air pressure but plenty of paint coming out giving the model a very *heavy* coat of paint that can easily run. Also i found the paint can give a "orange peel" look to it
The Tamiya can i found suits me the best as i think the mixtutre is good and has a really nice finish too it.

Testors sucks! When I did priming the body it spit a LOT of
paint so model should be repainted comptetely.
I don't like this coating how to remove it ALL now?

Jay uses a stuff called Castrol super clean which is meant to be very good.

If you do a search for "CSC," you'll see a thread where I went step-by-step on how I use it. :)
