Scale Model Tips - How To Use Mr. Color Lacquer Paints - Brush & Airbrush Technique - Great Results

In this video I go over my favorite paint line up, Mr. Color paints. As far as airbrushing goes, these paints are just about fool proof. I also show how to get the best results when brushing them. On top of being easy to use they are inexpensive and come in a ton of colors.

dude, i was searching for a way to use lacquer and use it with a paintbrush. this video idea is just genius

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you my friend

[@fatblob2017]

That red on the black spoon is gorgeous

[@suchanjv]

This is the video I needed! I bought a variety of Mr. Hobby and Mr. Color paints a while ago and didn't know the difference between all the types of paints and thinners. This is a huge help, thank you!

[@jessegee8953]

Yesss! I’ve been waiting for this video!! I have a ton of Mr. Hobby and was wondering how you used em! Thanks Rex!

[@jvmhammer5990]

You're videos are awesome. As a beginner, you thoroughly explain and show exactly every step. The hobby can be very challenging as a beginner and you make it easy to follow along. I have watched numerous videos but yours it the clearest and simplest. Thank you !!

[@gmoney1664]

Thanks for this. I've airbrushed acrylics for a while -am used to doing the drying technique, so useful to see how much you can load up lacquers. Haven't tried the Mr Hobby lacquers yet, but have used their aqueous line and it's very good

[@riccardodefrancesco7043]

Thank you for all your tutorials that you do for every body, I'm a beginner at all this and you have made it easy to understand how and what to do. I wish that all these big hobby paint companies would support your videos with some sponsorship and free paint and consumables as it's not fair that you are paying for all their free advertising out of your own pocket. Again thank you for all your knowledge that you share, Cheers from down under and looking forward on seeing more of your videos........Thankyou

[@gunplabadly]

Thank you Sir! Great demo, and thank you for showing how to clean too!!

[@pauka13]

Great tip for the cleaning, I have the same airbrush but never knew about that technique.

[@element4studios]

That was useful and informative! Thanks!

[@stevie65able]

You and Phil Flory(Flory Models) have the best comparison and review videos on KZbin when it comes to these product guides. Subscribed. Cheers from Oz.👍🏻 These Mr Color paints are the best I have ever used. Can thin them up to 70-80% and spray all day. Beautiful thin coats build up the colour in no time. I find I hardy ever get over 10-15 PSI, so easy to control.

[@chipblock2854]

Thanks. I have been building models for over forty years and using a lot if Tamiya paints for hand brushing. I only recently started thing them. I will give Mr. Color a try. I really like thining the clear red and orange.

[@blue4life175]

Great stuff as always Rex!

[@Pablogogo]

Great video, thanks for taking the time. Very interesting about the rapid thinner for metallics, going to have to check this out, been using MLT for everything and I think this will help a lot for improving metallics. A few tips, a nappy (diaper) bin is great for disposal of kitchen roll / waste when spraying lacquers, they are designed to keep the smell of shit at bay so work well for keeping the smell of lacquer thinners contained. Lint free or low lint wipes for cleaning the airbrush bowl, it stops paper/dust particles being left in the bowl and coming through on the next spray session after a quick colour change, a lot of cleaning supply companies have these and are pretty cheap, they are also more of a cloth so have more "cut" for shifting stubborn bits of paint. Lincoln Wright does great videos on brush painting lacquers for MaK models, interesting stuff about reactivating lacquers with MLT, you should check it out.

[@miken8875]

I bought some Mr Hobby paints from my local shop without realizing they were lacquer, and not acryllic-- but this video not only helped clear up the difference, provided a method for using them, and now I know what other tools I gotta get.

[@alainparent1337]

Great video. With all the different types of paints from Mr.Hobby, it would be great if you did a video explaining the differences. Mr. Color, GX, Mr. Crystal Color, Acrysion, Aqueous, Super Metallic, Metal Color

This video is so good, straight to the point and cover all the needed details. Good job man

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you my friend 👍

[@stowlo]

I love these videos. You are doing a great service to the community. One thing I would say about brushing is you do want it to be thin but not as thin as air brushing and it is not a 'brushing' motion you want to use but rather a stippling motion and you don't want to re-break the surface by going over an area you just did. You can avoid all brush marks but the sheen will likely look a little different as the paint takes longer to settle. Same principals as you described with the metal. Lincoln Wright @ PaintOnPlastic has an awesome tutorial on hand brushing lacquers on his page. The dude is a hand painting god.

[@notsohandyandy]

This video is a great example of why priming is important lol. VAST difference between directly spraying on white vs black. Cool! Thanks for the guide!

This video may be old, but you seriously just saved me so much sanity. I have been getting the Mr. Hobby Aqueous line of paints, but the Aqueous pink was out of stock, so I got Mr. Color pink. Tried using it 4 times and it instantly clogged my airbrush, I had no idea why. Didn't even realize it was a lacquer vs. acrylic, and definitely wasn't doing 1:1 (at least) thinning ratio.

Holy crap what a gold mine of information! Your really great at explaining and demonstrating. Subscribed! I was thoroughly engrossed. After using Enamel I didn't like how soft it was, even after months of sitting out. So I was looking into Lacquers to see how well they brush on since i knew they were for airbrushing. I don't have the means for an airbrushing setup, Just don't have to space. I'm gonna give it a shot.

[@markgordon2260]

Thanks for your tutorial. I am a novice on the airbrush, but using my Sparmax Max 3 (20 psi), and a 2/3 thinner (not self levelling though) 1/3 sail colour did a great job on the underside of my F2B wings. The upper side was the WNW PC10 mix in Tamiya acrylics, 50/50 thinner/paint, and again came out very well. And yes, regular hardware store lacquer thinner works very well as a cleaner. BTW, single use plastics are banned in most of Australia, so the source of testing spoons has dried up!

Airbrushing is so satisfying isn't it ? I guess from your voice and tone that you really enjoy painting. Thank you for the thorough review of this brand. Excellent video.

A lesson learned the hard way. Purchased some glass mixing jars from Hobby Lobby. Placed reducer and paint in jar. Grabbed my trusty Badger paint stirrer. The result was not pretty. The Badger must have been hungry and ate thru the bottom of the Hobby Lobby glass paint jars. Spend the little extra for Tamiya paint jars.

I haven't invested in an airbrush but bought some mr.color super metallics to paint fairly small pieces on a kit. I will be brushing by hand with Mr. Color's Rapid Thinner. In the video you suggested using the retarder instead. Will I have any issues if I mix rapid thinner with metallics to hand brush on plastic?

Uh hello, mr. Barbatos Rex! First of all i wanna say thanks so much for these videos, i've always wanted to get into painting gunplas, and these videos are a god send for me. Although there is one question that has been nagging my mind; What would you do if you want to paint say.. a joint part? For example, the RX-78-2 in the original anime of Mobile Suit Gundam, both the joints of the elbow and knees are colored white (or at least appears to be), so i want to try painting those joints that are most commonly grey for most kits of the RX-78-2. Would painting the joints be a problem when trying to pose the model? I am very concerned that it could cause the paints to be scratched off because of the movement. Obviously a good solution would be to not pose the kit after it is painted, but i would hope to be able to get some cool photos of the finished painted model in various poses. I really hope there's a solution to this! Thanks!

Don’t turn the caps over. When you do the paint drips down and gets on the bottle rim, when you put it back on. Instead leave the cap right side up and set it on a paper towel.

@@barbatosrex9473 thanks for the quick reply! That’s good to know. I wasn’t sure if the curing time would be longer than that to avoid any reactions to the next layer of paint
