Testing Hobby Mio Airbrush Paints - Awesome High Quality Paint !!

[@flintlickteig4603]

Keep up the top-tier detail and thank you for sharing your love of painting and modeling with us!

[@barbatosrex9473]

You're welcome my friend. You guys are the best out there

[@987kestrel]

You should assemble that airplane kit when you get all the pieces painted. It would be interesting to see all of the different colors.

[@Serenityindailylife]

NB Non building, meaning you can spray it in one coat or 50 and it wont slide off like a high build primer. HB would be a Sandable filler primer. They make another primer for ABS as well, one of the only ones I have seen. I cant begin to imagine how bad that stuff has to be for you, ABS usually wont take any paint.

[@dndopman]

The coverage is silky smooth looking. These paints get my juices flowing!

[@imaeric123]

KZbin needs to give you an award already. Always such a pleasure watching your reviews. Soo much in depth description of them all, Thank you

[@samuellopez2512]

Great video! Always great to discover a new option! I see very nice colors in that lineup!

[@vincentduong2346]

I just used the Deep Stainless Steel for inner frame of Gunpla, really great color

[@juliogarcia9100]

40,000 subs! Congrats

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thanks, hard to believe. You guys have been great 👍

That orange pops nicely. Best orange I've seen in a while.

[@dwightatnorthernstar1820]

Thank you, my airbrushing has improved thanks to you and ISM in England....

[@poppafiveone]

Another great display as usual. You are certainly doing the paint industry a great service. I don't know of any other source where one can be exposed to more obscure brands. Thanks again.

[@M0U53B41T]

really liking those turquoise and violet colours!

[@victorvallone6620]

Awesome find. Definitely trying out that orange. Gonna find a gray too. Love gray. Great video as always. Thank you. Remember... Paint everything! 🤣

[@bigchef2112]

Oh great! Another great paint line. My wife’s going to be pissed! Every time I get new paints she asks me if that’s from BB Rex!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Those metal colors are phenomenal. I’m always looking for metals. Thanks👍👍

[@barbatosrex9473]

I'll take the fall for you. Just tell her the paint is way cheaper than a $60 kit 😉

[@Auchaser643]

After looking online gk is for resin which I guess means gk stands for garage kit and NB is for other materials such as plastic

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thanks for the info. This helps

[@tkskagen]

The "Metal Turquoise" looks phenomenal on that "Black Widow" Turret!

[@snostorm79]

Awesome. I’ve been excited to see this test/review. Glad to see they are good. I plan to get a few.

[@Philtho]

Basic colors come in the larger bottles. Metallic colors come in the smaller. Likely because you really dont use them nearly as much as a primary non-metallic color. I've been very happy with them, it's all I've been using lately with the addition of some of your enamels. Haven't had any issues with their included beads and the mixer. Prethinned paints are real nice when you just want to paint and get stuff done.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Wait till you see the new colors in my paint line. I'll be showing some this week. I have another batch coming next week too. Beautiful colors 👍

[@Philtho]

@@barbatosrex9473 Looking forward to them. They spray real nice with the leveling thinner.

[@craigjkb]

For Christmas I bought myself a perfect grade Gundam then I start buying my local 1/144 size gundams I didn't care much what grade they were I just was enjoying building them and had the ability to put them on the shelf. There's big ones take up so much room I had no idea that they cost so much and then it came to wanting to spray it and paint it I got basically overwhelmed and I searched the internet and KZbin and I find you channel to be educational on how to do things. I was going to go down the road of enamel painting and set up for of a spray booth play the cost in dealing with those chemicals and finding specific brand is well harder in America. I'm experimenting with paint markers that I found from online hobby mio.. I think that'll be my route because the enamel painting booth and everything is just too much and I'm not situated to deal with that kind of setup I am very envy of you you have educated me so much on your channel I'll keep on watching and learning stuff. Thank again. God I wish I lived in an Asian country you could just walk into a 7-Eleven and get gundams lol 😅

[@henshinplex]

it looks like that yellow mellows out alot over the black on video, not sure if that's true in person but hey i'm here for it.

[@jimnugid4960]

Thank you for the paint review. QQ, as you mentioned it is not really the acrilioc paint, what solution\s do you use to clean airbrushes after this particular paint?

[@joeynuggetz]

Hey, I love your videos but I wish you would compile a rating system of all the metal paints you've tested as I'd be interested in which ones have the smallest particle/flake size. Pretty much everything you test seems to spray and look awesome but picking one over another isn't easy as I know there's more data/comparisons that could be done and you have every paint known to man so you're just the guy to do it :-)

[@tomdelaney19464]

Love the 1/2 spoon spray, can you try masking off the other half spoon like when doing models. Btw, I look forward to your videos coming out

[@OctavioAlonsoHernández]

Hi! Which do you think are better, these metals from Hobby Mio or those from Alclad?

[@albertmetts134]

The teal is going to be perfect for one of my wife's gunpla idea

[@NAMVETSTARLITE]

AS ALWAYS ANOTHER GREAT LESSON.

[@Makross_82]

They look fantastic...thank you very much for the review of this paints!!!....What I read in their website the reason they don't smell so hard is because they are trying to work with the environment. BTW NB doesn't mean anything, it's just two grades of surfacer. Fixing Surfacer is 800 grade, NB Surfacer is 1000 grade.

[@ClarenceObert]

Hi Rex, another good round of paints. Looking forward to your review of those new acrylics you got in. Also, don't know if you saw it or not, but I left you a comment on your Vallejo Shifter Color review in reference to the Folk Art Color Shifter that I tested out. Interesting results. Thanks for all you do.

[@allanlowe9346]

Wow I just love that metal green and all the metals come up beautifully. I'm trying to get a metallic Olive Green for a Porsche I'm going to build soon. Could you darken the metal green by mixing a bit of the black with it ? I'd like to see that green over the detail metal color also which I think would be a great finish for a car also.. Hopefully we can get these paints here in Oz. Thanks for another great review.

[@statoilbensin2190]

I think you need a metallic black in order to darken it. Sad part is that not many metallics are black. The only two metallic blacks I know is Humbrol enamel metallic black and Mr color metallic black and it can be used to darken their other metallic colours. I know they got metallic green colours and maybe you can darken some of those. But it will still not be a metallic olive green unless you can mix some metallic yellow in their. I guess you need to search up how to mix a olive drab and then try get those colours in metallic.

[@allanlowe9346]

@@statoilbensin2190 Thanks so much for that reply. I'll hunt around tosee what I can find and looks like a few spoons will come to the rescue in testing . Cheers

[@jorgemargenat3674]

Love them..fantastic color...👌👌👌👌

[@Swellington_]

Fantastic video 👍

[@kyllerkill]

They make two different kinds of surfacer. Ones a regular prisoner. The other is a fixer primer to fill surface defects.

[@mikeszczutkowski3066]

These paints look amazing would like to have some but I'm really want to get your paints, great video as always. Take care your my favorite youtuber

Did u thin the primer before spraying is it thinning necessary???

just curious... have you ever built a kit after using all the pieces for different paint reviews? hahaha that model would look CRAZY! thank you for your reviews. youve helped me learn very much and make the right choices!

[@butchsbasementbuilds6828]

Some of those colors are really nice...

[@josephsolomon6499]

Being an acrylic/lacquer, what do you use to clean your airbrushes with this paint? I typically use acrylics, looking for good metallic colors.

[@dish8690]

Thanks for all the great vids a easy question for you. Where do you get you spray booth filter material ?

[@goldlantern]

Thank you for this - I was looking forward to seeing what colors you'd gotten. Hobbymio also has a chrome paint pen that robotkai carries, under the name of "super metallic color marker". I bought one to try it out on the sword of the HG Astray Inverted.

[@d9_1056]

I'm curious if you can mix the metals to make different shades.

[@stephanmatuteschulz6209]

Whats the best way to re-integrate chunky paint to its normal consistency? Like white primers when it sits on the shelf for a while?

Can you show an example one time of what you mean when you say you strain some of the paints? Still learning all of this and not sure to know how or when to strain paints.

[@Blade4127]

Can you put 2k over a high gloss paint? If so does it make that big of difference?

[@d9_1056]

This stuffs all pre-thinned right?

[@jasonikimarin4840]

do you still need to put some more extra thinner into this brand of paint??

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yes, you can thin this paint so it looks like water.

[@DTWARRIOR_MK]

Thanks for the video bro!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Anytime buddy 👍

[@jesse8732]

What type of pen do you use to write on the back of the spoons?

[@jimbe01]

Quest- For “clear” type colors, would you consider spraying the appropriate color paint(s) over a transparent type plastic sheet to demonstrate the coverage/tinting capabilities? P.S. could you please include the price and “size/volume” of the subject paints being reviewed. Tnx.

[@LawrenceValverde]

How do you like that compare to Tamiya or Mr Hobby aqueous? Am I right guessing these are comparable solvent? Do you think you're paying more to get them pre thinned?

[@barbatosrex9473]

I like this paint as much as any I've tested. I do like the unique colors more like the metal blue I never pick a paint based on pre thinned or not. You can double any jar with thinning make it all the same. Difference is that you can brush on a paint that's not pre thinned and sometimes you need to brush on paint. My personal paint line, Mecha Empire is an enamel because it brushes on as good as it airbrushes making it a dual purpose paint

[@ronjon5386]

I have learned a lot watching your channel and I might be telling you something you already know but I would like to help any way I can there is a company named Tropical glitz They have read to spray .

@@barbatosrex9473 Thank you! But I will only brush with youre paint until summer comes and im all alone. For some reason I can spray lacquers and the fumes will be carried out by my spraybooth. However when I spray with enamels my paintbooth will stink for days and other family members will get affected by chemical smell. The day I sprayed humbrol enamels I har the booth sprayfilter the other way and that might have been the reason why ventilation was poor. But just in case I will wait for summer when im alone.
