[@bahamut_the_warrior]

Have you done a video about airbrush psi? I’m really confused about how much pressure I should use. The only thing I know is that paints that have heavy metal flakes need more psi, same with mica powders.

[@barbatosrex9473]

It's different among airbrushes. The Badger 105 Patriot only requires 15psi no matter what your spraying. The company actually says in the manual 15 psi is setting for that airbrush. The way its designed it pushes thru any paint you put in it without clogging up. But with other airbrushes you should stick with a needle of at least 0.3mm or bigger And go with a minimum of 20psi

A few of these were low when I opened them meaning evaporation had occurred. I just added about 10 drops of lacquer thinner and it came back to life

[@esbenrasmussen4289]

Great vid, but no surprise there : ) I am building the Revell Apollo Saturn V, and I need the right kind of gold for the landing module. The GX golds looked a little too pale gold, can you recommend a Mr. Hobby gold that would fit the LEM? Or another brand, but I really love Mr. Hobby lineup. Always an inspiration to see your Aladdins modelling cave, if I could make mine just a 10th I'd be happy. I have a pretty unrealistic video request, and I know it's a longshot, but a video oon the different spraybooths out there would be fantastic. I know the expensive ones are good, but are there cheaper (100-130 USD) options that are good? A video on what to look out for when buying, like AC fans vs DC fans or minimum specs.... Currently I am using a stove extraction unit, and I am trying to find time and energy to build it up so it's good, but it is large and I think it would just be nicer to have a prebuilt.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Many of the pros I've run into out there use a plastic storage bin tipped on its side with the oven extractor attached. Then they stick an led light to the inside top. The good thing about that is all the different sized storage bins you can choose from at Target and Walmart helps when getting the right size for your home. If I didn't get my booth on sale on Prime Day that's the way I was going.

[@garybowers9605]

Love these paints! What do you use to clean airbrush between colors?

[@barbatosrex9473]

I used a hardware store lacquer thinner. And a but of Acetone. Also a good choice is some of the different brand tool cleaners. I have Mr Tool cleaner and on from Modo that work great. Most online hobby retailers should have those.

[@renwong8358]

Thank for sharing and test results 😄. Which metallic color suitable for Gundam eyes? Green= metallic green, yellow eye is metallic yellow or gold?

I prefer green but yellow is a close second

[@longju8305]

These colors are strong metallic but not so much pigment. Some of them are different like blue and red gold. A thick coat is the key to cover the surface and gives a better mettalic coat just like those solid color.

[@pudgeyjoe1623]

Hey Rex! Thanks for your videos. Is it ok to add non metallic mr hobby laquer to this metallics to get a different color? Like add white to metallic violet to get a lighter shade of violet? Thanks!

[@somechinesedude5466]

Levelling Rapid are exclusively for flat paint Its kinda like mr hobby thinner, but for later new brand (like mr hobby GX, primer surfacer 1000 & number 160 to 370 above) Primer surfacer 1000 can't be thinned with mr hobby Metallics doesn't blend well with mr hobby to Levelling are go for all usually, but it can make paint harder to stick if sprayed thin

[@plamocollector]

@@somechinesedude5466 levelling thinner will give metallic paints a high shine / gloss finish, whereas rapid thinner will give you smaller particle flakes because of the faster drying finish, without gloss look. I personally use rapid for metallic paints as the end result is better because of the smaller metallic flakes. Mr rapid thinner is kinda the same as metallic master thinner from gaia. So you can use either one depends on the finish you are looking for.

[@chipblock2854]

I ordered the last blue you showed for a 1953 Fird pickup. I will spray it over black like you did. Did you test any of them with a clear coat? If so how did they turn out?

[@yi_google_iy6354]

what thinner did you use? Because when I tried to thin it out it got all pasty. (Pretty sure im not using the right thinner but idrk)

[@mephisto2872]

I think he might have used the rapid thinner. It’s designed with metallics in mind. He uses it in the other videos with metallics.

[@ooharasora4097]

A newbie question here, but can you use a color from a brand with thinner from another brand? For example, I'm trying to get some thinner for Mr.ColorGX series, can I use Tamiya Enamel Thinner for it?

[@ooharasora4097]

Truth is, I'm trying to airbrush some ABS parts, and I've already got Mr.ColorGX's color, but I heard Mr.Hobby's thinner will break ABS part, what should I do? I heard Tamiya Enamel won't break ABS plastics on several Japanese videos on KZbin, but I'm not sure if stuff from different brand mix well together. Some people I asked even told me that if you paint an ABS part, it will break within 1-2 years even if it didn't break immediately.

[@barbatosrex9473]

OK, you can't use the Tamiya Enamel thinner. The Mr Color Thinner is fine. Here what to do. Lay down a primer first. The primer is the barrier between the abs and the paint. With a primer as your base the paint on top of it won't reach the abs plastic.

[@ooharasora4097]

@@barbatosrex9473 I see, thanks for replying. But what primer should I use though? Does Mr.Sufacer-1000 work as a primer? Also, if it's only a tiny part that I want to paint in between a gap, what should I do? Do I have to paint the whole thing? I guess I could mask everything out too, but I just want to see if there's any other way. (For reference, the part I'm trying to paint is SMP Garuda Eagle's knight mask's "hole".)

Hey Rex, I am recently trying to use this paint with Iwata Revolution CR, it says a 0.5 one. I never had any problem with any primer or normal mr color lacquar paint. But I don’t know why this metallic gx causes me some trouble. I just cannot get a thin coat of this paint. When the trigger is not pulled much, normally I would get a thin coat of paint, but not for this one. The paint just didn’t come out. When the trigger is pulled to a certain point, abruptly I would get a really thick coat. I don’t know why it’s like this. I have tried different thinning ratio and different pressure. My air compressor is also a iwata one. Do you think the cause of this is my airbrush or something else? Also this paint would dry in my airbrush lid fast even with leveling thinner. What do you think is the perfect thinning ratio and pressure for a thin coat like in your vid. Thanks a lot.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Have you tried different colors or just one?

[@mengdewu678]

@@barbatosrex9473 I did some tests further. I finally get a stable metallic coat with Mr Metallic color gx, but the coat is a thick coat that makes the part looks like a small piece of gold rather than the thin coat that shown in your vid. I used thick paint (60:40 to 50:50), rather than thin paint like (30:70). The thinner I used is leveling thinner (my rapid one is still on the way, so I cannot try that). My experience is that a thin paint would cause the airbrushing work to be really wet, since I used leveling thinner and it is really slow to dry, the result is always a mess. The air pressure I set during spraying is approximately 18 psi. And the airbrush trigger needs to be pulled little further. I use the same airbrushing move as you did in the vid. But the coat I get is huge different from your smooth shine coat. I share the coat with a Google drive link, drive.google.com/file/d/15qzBTWfWUwuwcK5JW33Spp3r0OOXLqHE/view?usp=sharing.

@@treborrrrr paints have its own seperator/oil that preserve them when not used or stirred, if kept in dark & dry place, paints can last for 10 or 20 year ish Thinner can evaporate even if you keep it in dark & dry place, once it evaporate, the only thing left is the pigment, the oil evaporates along with the thinner Not to mention, paints that lost its seperator have grainy texture, at least the case for mr hobby, its very visible on our eye, on camera, maybe not You can pre thinned paints, but don't leave it for too long, in my case, probably 2 year from old work, i notice the quality is deterioating alot Levelling thinner also help recover some quality, but spray it on something else first to see if its "good enough"

I love watching your vids just to see how the colors turn out. My only wish is maybe you broke them up into smaller pieces, maybe 10 to 15 minutes. While seeing the whole lineup is cool, this vid could have easily been broken up into 2 or 3 vids.
