Is it okay to top coat acrylic painted parts with lacquer top coats?

[@GunplaUniversity]

yes its actually recommended by most because the laqcuer is a stronger paint then the acrylic paint.

[@da7aminer]

Nice review and I just ordered a bunch of these for my MG Char Z'gok project. This will be my first time with an airbrush and I can't wait to try them out.

[@GunplaUniversity]

Awesome man I’m sure you will enjoy these. Congrats on starting your first airbrush project. Feel free to reach or if you need any help

[@da7aminer]

Love the T-Shirts!

[@GunplaUniversity]

appreciate it!!! think you can still get them over at uniqlo.com

[@bongkem2723]

love this review, all i need is here, i'll go with Mr hobby acrylic for my gunpla painting now ;)

[@GunplaUniversity]

glad you enjoyed it! thanks for watching

[@f1v10thebest]

@@GunplaUniversity this is not really a acrylic paint it's a hybrid lacquer

[@mikegonzalez3590]

Big fan of the aqueous line, they work well. 1:1 works good for me. Nice video subscribed!!

[@GunplaUniversity]

Thanks for the sub and glad you enjoy these paints!!

[@masterkent1]

I love the steel color from mr hobby. Its comparable to the tamiya gunmetal and I use them both in conjunction for frames

[@xxnike0629xx]

Nice. I think it nice that Mr. Hobby now has water-based acylic paints as they're much safer to use and doesn't have that strong toxic, fume smell. Thanks for this review.

[@GunplaUniversity]

this was my first time using them and i was surprised. think im going to use these to paint my HG Origins Gramps. glad you enjoyed Nike

[@xxnike0629xx]

@@GunplaUniversity Not a problem. Maybe do a tutorial video on using these paints?

[@GunplaUniversity]

Yea I’d be up for that

[@maxaryan100]

Model kits are made to be built. Build your kits Suiton.

[@psych0seer247]

Alright I'm gonna give these a go. I got some from Spraygunner and will be doing my 1:1 mixes tonight.

[@GunplaUniversity]

J. Johnson that’s what’s up man. Let me know how you like them.

[@psych0seer247]

@@GunplaUniversity This also the first time I mixed paint. I usually use Vallejo Air, so this is a whole new world!

[@statoilbensin2190]

Intresting is how they are mixeble with their companitor Tamiya acrylic. Also you can mix with Ak real colours.

[@zonegamma8197]

Leveling Thinner works also with Aqueous paints

[@GunplaUniversity]

good to know thanks !!!

[@victoranguiano6297]

Loved the video! My local hobby lobby just started stocking these paints and I’m about a year into the hobby, finally feeling ready to do a little bit of painting, and I’m finally going to build some larger kits! I don’t want to repaint anything big because I’m just starting out, but I want to color correct and paint smaller details. I plan on hand painting said details since they are small, would you recommend thinner and primer for this?

[@GunplaUniversity]

by smaller details i assume you may want to use this in hand painting? should work alright. i havent test that myself with these those

[@MrSkullface]

What primer would you recommend with this line. Thank you!

[@dbzlover666]

Seems like a pretty solid choice in a pinch. Only thing that bothers me about these paints is that it has some colors that don't have a Mr. Color lacquer equivalent like salmon pink or pale green and all the newer color guides reference this line exclusively. This made it difficult to follow the color guide for MG Turn X and I had to pull up the no grade color guide. I assume that this was an effort by Bandai to make the hobby safer for children but still.

[@GunplaUniversity]

hopefully this is something they will address down the line if/when the line picks up in popularity.

[@poly3706]

hi i've been on a break from modelling, i have some questions with paint types, lets say i do a laqcuer primer>acrylic base>lacquer top coat>enamel wash/oil wash with thinners>final lacquer top coat. the enamel thinner wont eat through the lacquer coat and damage the acrylic paint correct?

[@GunplaUniversity]

correct. the laqcuer top coat will protect everything below it

[@thanhhung1622]

Great video, not much review on the Youtubbe about this paint. Also just bought my first airbrush, I've used Mr Hobby Aquesous before but with hand painted not with airbrush. So how much time do I need to wait between coat if I do light coat ? And how much psi should I need?

[@GunplaUniversity]

awesome glad you found this video. you really dont have to wait long. i normally do a pass and say maybe two full breaths and your able to go back at it again. i normally spray between 12-20 psi. give it a try and let me know if you have more questions

[@aaronchung7568]

Hey you're making these paints very appealing and I'm considering a switch! Any idea how these compare to Acrysion (which is also their new water-based paint but not as new)? I only have experience with those but there's so little information available regarding their differences (like their safety when airbrushed) that from your video I can only learn that Acrysion isn't as durable (but still fairly durable as far as acrylics are concerned). Would love to know your thoughts.

[@GunplaUniversity]

Aaron Chung I haven’t tried the acrysion ones yet so I can’t speak on them compared to these or laqcuers. If your already spraying with acrylics and are looking for a good finish and fairly quick dry time I would definitely give these a try. They really impressed me with their durability at only at about an hour wait time. I’ll definitely have to try the acrysions soon and compare them

[@masterkent1]

Having tried the acrysion paints, they're some of the hardest paints I've used. They don't react well to the usual leveling thinner that I use which means I have to buy their specific airbrush thinner. They also tend to clog my brush alot more. They are pretty good for detail painting however.

[@lesgl]

I've just bought my first Mr Hobby with the ''Aqueous'' label on it after using them for a long time...H32 Field Grey 1 which according to the Mr Hooby 2019 paint chart is a medium grey green..like WWII German army uniforms and whats in the bottle and the colour of the cap a gloss black..so not sure what's happening there..dries very well and fast tho' not tacky at all

[@GunplaUniversity]

hmmm odd. maybe possibly a color code got switched during the refresh?

[@lesgl]

@@GunplaUniversity Most likely..i've been using their paints for a very long time and i've only had one other paint colour mix up before

[@ivanmurraylee3885]

Can we use tamiyas x20 to wash of the panel lining on this kind of paint? Will it bite of the acrylic paint below?

[@GunplaUniversity]

tamiya x20 is an enamel thinner i believe so your safest bet would be to seal it with a lacquer coat, then panel line and wash. in theory the x20 might harm this paint but i havent tested it.

[@ivanmurraylee3885]

@@GunplaUniversity so I had made some research and can up to a comment stating that, solvent based acrylics like aqueous might be ok for panel lining removal using x20 thinner, but water based acrylics like vallejo is not applicable.

[@shadowmo3]

What is the thinner made of? And I found that the paints still contain a solvent, is that true, and how bad is the smell if I am hand painting with these?

[@GunplaUniversity]

seems to be an alchol based thinner. in my test run with them i opted to still use a mask since i used laqcuer paint for the primer so i wasn't able to pick up on too much of a smell

[@shadowmo3]

@@GunplaUniversity Thanks

[@videojosh20]

Spray gunner looks like a nice site, but it looks like they are out of most of not all airbrush/ compressor combos. Side note I didn't know you rode man! Shout out from another rider!

[@GunplaUniversity]

yea think the pandemic has really stressed some supply lines to the brink. there are some paints that ive been wanting that have been out of stock for a long time now. hoping it clears up soon. Thats whats up man! what do you ride?

[@dragula2005]

hi! you try with Leveling Thinner? works perfect for me

[@GunplaUniversity]

havent tried with leveling thinner but i imagine its probably pretty nice

[@fauzanadhitya1185]

Hey gunpla university, it is save for gunpla to use factory spray can instead of hobby spray can?

[@GunplaUniversity]

by "factory" spray can i assume u mean like hardware store type top coats, if so then yes, those can be used and often are in the hobby

[@mechadroit]

have you tried Hairspray chipping with these?

[@GunplaUniversity]

i havent but i need/want to give it a try. i hear it works great

[@uglitor]

Sorry for my confusion. I thought these are solvent (alcohol) based and not water based? The box and manual for them has a "Flammable" and "Irritant" symbols and their site says "The solvent contained in Aqueous Hobby Color paint is very mild." Or is this obsolete info and are these newer ones 100% water based?

[@GunplaUniversity]

hmmmmm you are right the wording is a bit confusing. on the official website under aqueous color it says "water-based acrylic color" but like you said the statement, "The solvent contained in Aqueous Hobby Color paint is very mild" is also there. this should be cleared up by Mr Hobby but in the meantime itd probably be best to assume that it is actually alcohol based

[@wasrio1403]

This is not a true water based paint they are similar to tamiya acrylics. They mixs well with water alcohol or laquer thinner. They are very versatile paints.

[@jmg7842]

Are these like atleast strong than other acrylics

[@GunplaUniversity]

I haven’t yet pitted them against other name brand acrylics such as Vallejo and tamiya but they are stronger then mr hobby’s last line of acrylics

[@jesselarios5310]

What kind of bike you riding ?

[@GunplaUniversity]

lol im late responding but i think at the time i still had 3 bikes, now i just have a indian scout bobber
