t-cut

[nismo kid]

Have any of you found any difficulties with using t-cut on tamiya paints? I was t-cutting the roof of the r34 [below] and it made the paint discolour. I had to respray it in the end. Just wondering if anyone has found anything like this. It might just be with metallic paints. Maybe i should've used t0cut for metallic paint.

I think T-cut is old hat now, we have moved on since then!
In the UK go for Autoglym's Paint restorer for a deep cut, i.e. lots of orange peel. As Tamiya paint goes on smooth I would recommend 3M Finesse it, available from Trade Auto Paint suppliers, it is very soft and gives a deep shine. Smells great too, they both do! The smell of T-cut sucks!

If you can get it try Meguiers Scratch X. I think it works great but it is all I have used (just don't rub too hard over raised sections)

Has anyone tried out Mer? Got a tub in the garage but not tested on tamiya paints yet???

Oh and by the way, im not refering to the Mer carried by one of the three kings in that biblical tale they tell at xmas time.:finger:

The only reason I use it is because I found a bottle in the shed that used to be my brother's. I'll look out for the others you mentionned. And you're right about the smell of t-cut. I thought mine smelled bad just because it was so old.
