Tamiya TS-7.. I hate this stuff..

Not sure about the runs, or the Tamiya paints, but I have paint haze all the time from humidity. South Texas is not the best area to paint outdoors.

Not too sure what to do now. Had a look this morning, the parts I've not dunked in brake fluid are level and even but not much shine. Doesn't feel like it's got enough paint on to tell the truth..

I think this might have been a duff can... It didn't go very far at all.. I did shake the can for 2 minutes and kept shaking as I was spraying. I applied my first mist waited 15 minutes and then applied my second mist that I normally apply to finish off covering the primer waited 15 minutes and started building the paint up.

Guess I'll have to go and buy another can - or two... This is damn frustrating... This paint from Tamiya is not cheap at £4 a can. Only to chuck parts in fluid to strip it off... Grrrhhh.....!!! Still in a mood..!!

Thanks all..

White is always tricky, but I haven't had any TS spray either. And if paint did run, it's a sign that you did something wrong, either sprayed at the body closer than what you think is appropriate or moved the spray-can too slow. 2 - 3 preparation coats won't do it, so apply 8 - 10 mist coats instead.
Keep trying, and you'll get it.
Good luck.

Nightmare Mick!
I've only used the pure white and it was great!

At least you didn't cock up the whole kit like Hiroboy did with his Z-Tune!
