I have some questions about your painting, since I'm planning on decanting and getting some mr color paints, I wonder how much of the decanted Tamiya TS spray can you have used on your model ? Like half the can ? Less ?

keveuh I am sorry, but I don't have idea. Because I didn't 'decaning' whole can of spray. I 'decaned' only small amound of spray paint. Only for 'protect'/paint light coat for panel lines. And the next day I paited entire body with a
TS can. But I don't remeber how much it was. I suppos it was no more than 10 ml (1/2 oz. ?) of decaning paint. You have to test yourself.
As I remeber - one of my friend said, that one decaned TS paint is sufficient for 2-3 cars.
Mist coat (for panel lines, etc...) was painted with airbrush using decaned paint.
Then entire body (and chassis) was painted wiht TS can ('from hand').
Here is one more picture for You:
As You can see - this is my airbrush (one of few). This one is old good Aztec but I like it very much. And it is equiped with side-feed cup. There is some decaning paint from TS-53. Aztec's cup has 8cc=8ml=1/4oz. capacity. But as You can see, cup is not full - there is about 5cc=5ml of dacanded? pait. As I remeber it was about 1.5 to 2 seconds of decaning (some equivalent).
TS can is 100ml of... I don't know of what. I suppose that is
100ml of pure paint. So
I GUESS that from one 100ml TS can you should get 100ml of paint.

These jars look so small I wonder if there's enough paint at all for on car...

18 ml plus Gunze thinner !!! = 18ml Clear plus 18 to 26 ml of thiner (depend on pressure, airbrush and many others) = no less than 36 ml...
Ratio is 1:1 or 1:1,5 or even more in same cases.
So you have no 18 ml but more
