clear coat

i sprayed some ts-13 clear on a side mirror of my skyline model to see what it would look like it looks really good but then the pain comes off is taht suppose to happen im scared to spray it on the body cuzz it might melt off the paint...any advice?

cleat coat washes away my testors bottle paint. It did fine with model master spray can. So also you might wanna apply thin coats.

are you sure it's clear coat and not some kind of acid :D

Go to wal mart and buy some testors gloss clear coat spray can. dont spray it on testors paint tho, it might disolve it and look crappy.

I have been using TS-13 clear over other tamiya spray colors for all my kit and i have not encountered any problems before.

On my R390 GT, I got the same problem.. Paint is Model Master red spray.... look like I didn't give enugh time to dry (6 day) btw I wont buy anything other than Tamiya now... it's maybe 1 or 2$ more, but at least it dryin 24 hours, not 1 month !

only Clear Testor still very good.. but take over a month to dry :(

One tip:

Watch out with it. I just came from my local store and the owner used it on his cars but it turn out in yellow.

thnx for teh advice guys

seems to be np for my cars.... the clear coat give a very gloss look to it...

well i sprayed a couple of coats on earlier today and it came out pretty good i need to put some more coats on to give it a really glossy look well at least teh paint didnt melt thnx for the advice everyone ill post pics as soon as im done with it

Hi
In fact I used the TS-13 in one of my cars and the experience do not went well...
I used the bottom of one car to spray it, but the result was the decal and the paint melted :(
The paint that melted was from Tamiya, the decal was from Tamiya...
So what went wrong? Was the distance? Was the amount of coat?
Any ideas?
Thanks

I allways use automotive colors like PPG, sikkens and so on...

i found out that u need to spray it from a distance if u spray too close then the paint will melt put LIGHT coats on it should come out fine im goin to wait a week or two before polishing

Ok thanks Integraboy, I will follow your advice and make some more tests. I will update the results.
Thanks.
