Paul...Thank-you for testing the replacement Super Metallic paints. As always your review was detailed and extremely informative.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Cheers John, thanks for watching and commenting - Paul :)

[@AugustusCaesar88]

Thanks for the video Paul. I’ve come to realise over the years that anything “Mr Hobby/Mr Colour/Gunze Sangyo” related is going to be absolutely superb. I see GSI products as basically less well known but superior versions of Tamiya products. Though, I must say, Tamiyas new lacquer paints (the ones in the pots for airbrushing) are utterly brilliant.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Cheers Tom and yeah you're right mate, great products, cheers buddy thanks for watching and commenting - Paul :)

[@Metaretru]

This is so informative, i've been looking for the comparison between SM paint

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Glad you found it useful - Thanks for watching - Paul :)

[@Vman7757]

I think I would use both. And you are right they look a lot a like. But. In the past I would add Tamiya transparents mixed it to help make panel differences. But I do not know it they would work with these. I might like using these.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Yeah ill prob use up the older ones first myself, cheers buddy thanks for watching and commenting - Paul :)

[@jbellos1]

Good vid. I'm thinking since the chrome is supposed to be over a gloss black base, all subsequent coats are on a chrome base instead of the black, therefore the difference in luster. And, the reason the best shine is with the first chrome coat. Convinced to get the SM2 series.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Yes I agree, well worth buying mate, cheers buddy thanks for watching and commenting - Paul :)

[@almacneish9657]

Interesting review Paul. Shame the paint manufacturers can't seem to differentiate colours like the true qualities of the real thing but you've saved me a few bob so thanks for your time in producing these vids.

Yo Al, cheers buddy thanks for watching and commenting - Paul :)

Great guide there Paul has always

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Hey Gas, cheers mate

[@bikezonly]

Thanks for the review. I had just run out of the Tamiya X-11. The Covid-19 has made it hell for us Malaysia to obtain paints and material. There's just no more X-11 here!. So I was looking towards getting the lacquer LP-11 until I saw this. Stay safe.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Glad I could help

[@doitsugunpla707]

Hi Paul Do you know how the AK compares to Alclad? Thanks. Which do you prefer ?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

I prefer AK all day long but also the Tamiya Ts and lp lacquers too

[@BGBReptileITA]

Great video! Mind if I ask, but can you give me the link of the mixer and the levelling thinner that you used in this video please? I found the T-106 and T-108 Mr Color Levelling Thinner but besides the quantity of thinner, respectively 110ml and 400ml I don't know if there are any other differences, thanks in advance! :)

[@2-Hands]

How do these handle a Gloss Coats, do they lose their Luster or get Cloudy???

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

I not tried to Be honest

[@andrewcallis2733]

Great review mate, very informative.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Cheers Buddy - Paul :)

Thank You Sir for Sharing With us, God Bless

Cheers Gary, thanks for watching and commenting - Paul :)

[@JohnPol]

Thanks for the review I still like the AK metal paint

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Hey Jon, yes me too mate but these are very good as well, cheers buddy thanks for watching and commenting - Paul :)

[@barrythornton9947]

Thanks Paul, for the review. Just to clarify, what was the drying time between those mist coats ? Assuming that wasnt all in real time , though some of those laq based metallics can flash off pretty quick.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Hey Barry, I was approx 5 mins flash off, cheers buddy thanks for watching and commenting - Paul :)

[@MaZEEZaM]

Really great comparison, I did like the look of the chrome for a single pass. Do you know why the thinner makes so much difference? Also, this is a bit of a "how long is a piece of string?" type of question but can you offer some idea of how often you should replace the filters in respirator masks?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Filters i think its every three months

[@MaZEEZaM]

@@InternationalScaleModeller Thanks.

[@davidlourensz4822]

Hi Paul, is Mr Hobby Super Metallic 2 an acrylic? I see you used Mr Hobby leveling thinner. I can only see Mr Color Leveling Thinner on the net...is this suitable?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Its a lacquer paint and yes that or even better this stuff for metallics www.umpretail.com/collections/thinners/products/mr-hobby-mr-rapid-thinner-quick-drying-400ml

[@trinitymirror]

Hi Paul, Sorry to go bit off topic, I can not use the "strong smelling" paints due to using spare room and only small extractor.Given that could you recommend a more user friendly brand which looks ok?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Hey Gary, I would go for the likes of Vallejo or citadel metallics, cheers buddy thanks for watching and commenting - Paul :)

[@hl1796]

thank you for the review, what in your opinion about this and Vallejo metal color (the big , black bottle type ), ?, i just realize i lacking a proper fine, high polish chrome / silver color in my arsenal and try to get one

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Ive not tried them sorry alot of friends like them though - Paul

[@adriandurn5903]

Hi Paul, how does the chrome look if you use 2 coats and then use hyper-polish on it? I find the hyper-polish is great for a mirror shine even on flat colours, not sure if you're tried it? Just looking for a decent chrome effect to cover the very toyish mirror finish on 1:24 models, the ones that you can't sand smooth.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Ive no idea sorry

[@adriandurn5903]

@@InternationalScaleModeller thanks, I've got the chrome on order, I'll let you know how it turns out

[@VideoCesar07]

GSI products in general are amazing but dang, their lacquer paints are horrendous when is comes to smell. A good spray booth, a respirator and adequate ventilation are essential to using them. Too bad the US requirement for acrylic paints changes and they withdrew that line of paints. I have always wanted to try their Acrysion line but no local hobby store carries it in my area. I bought their Metallic line and when I saw Super Metallics 2 at my LHS I jumped on them. Thanks for the tips and the review.

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Yep they do stink, the new line of Tamiya LP lacquers are so much better

[@yellowcake1320]

Have you tried the rapid thinner with these by any chance?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Ive not no sorry, cheers buddy thanks for watching and commenting - Paul :)

[@djkennedy5452]

Hi mate what did you use to prime ?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Hey David it was Ultimate Primer

[@djkennedy5452]

Cheers mate managed to get some after been sold out every where 👍

[@liaazhira7744]

what a top coat for this paint?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

You can use anything really I guess you just may lose some of the shine

[@liaazhira7744]

@@InternationalScaleModeller is there a way to top coat without reducing shine?

[@InternationalScaleModeller]

Try a water based clear like alclad aqua gloss
