Tamiya Paint
I was just wondering if the basic spray paint colors like "black" are glossy, or if the semigloss black is more glossy than just "black". I have both of these colors and I'd prefer to paint my ITR with the glossier color. Thank you. Also, is satin black similar to matt black?

Re: Tamiya Paint
For Tamiya paints... No prefix (semi-gloss, matt) then its Gloss. So that ,means X-1 for bottled stuff, TS-14 for spray can.
For Gunze paints, a little lower to the left of the color name you will find it's type( gloss, semi-gloss, flat etc..) HTH Steve

Re: Tamiya Paint
Tamiya acrylic in jars: X=gloss, XF=flat/matte
Semi gloss more or less equals satin Tamiya TS in sprays are all gloss IIRC Satin/semigloss is a finish somewhere between gloss and flat To a large degree you can change the finish of one kind of paint by covering it with a gloss, semi gloss/satin or matt/flat clear coat.

Re: Tamiya Paint
In the aerosols Tamiya TS- range the paint finish is usually gloss unless stated in the description e.g. with the blacks
TS-6 is Black (gloss) TS-14 is Matt Black TS-29 is Semi Gloss Black Most of the car colours are gloss finish.
