Re: Enamel, Lacquer, or Acrylic?
If you read through the first 10-15 threads in the WIP forums. you will have a pretty good overview of what is used for painting by members.
Generally speaking: - Bodies are painted with laquers (Tamiya TS series, Gunze, Automotive base coats)
- Interiors and chassis are painted with acrylics (Tamiya X and WF range, Gunze, Model Master)
- Metal looking parts are painted with metalizers (Alclad, Model Master)
Enamels are rarely used for bodies but are often used for interiors and detail painting.
The above is not intended to be exhaustive but just give you some samples. I still think reading the WIPS and using the search function will be your best bet.
