Testing Sunin7 Acrylic Airbrush Paints

[@aroncheek5092]

I prefer to use acrylic for a few reasons, they have little odour,are easier cleaned up IE brush and airbrush, think it's essential to pick up the decent to expensive acrylics brands to get anywhere near a lacquer finish. Lacquer gives a far better result and it's durability is far superior to acrylic. I build all sorts but haven't built a spray booth to use lacquer through my airbrush. I have cad software and a fdm printer so I'll be building one soon . As always love your videos and I hope you and the Mrs are well

[@ramza813]

Very happy with their metallics

[@teddyjones8027]

Great review as always my friend Thank you, your paints are really killing it 👏 can't wait to see what's next. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊God Bless 🙏

[@Fritzie73]

Again you bring us beautiful colors!

[@DanielGViola-e7e]

Very nice acrylic paints. Thanks.

[@HVACRTECH-83]

I like these colors. Kinda unique

[@mustangzr]

Cool video.. keep them coming .. I'm always excited to see your videos.

[@RobRobRob123]

Pretty good colors. I find acrylics tend to be pretty easy to use to problematicish depending on manufacturer and wether or not it is a opaque or a metallic and so forth. Lately I have been leaning towards acrylacquer paints. The odor is not as offensive as a lacquer and as readily available as the popular brands of acrylic. Awesome review my friend, really good stuff👌🏼

[@barbatosrex9473]

Acrylic Lacquers a tree e great. The Aqueous and SMS line are both terrific too. My new lacquer line coming soon also performs great and not a strong smell

[@RobRobRob123]

Definately, I am partial to aqueous as of late. The low odor sounds extremely promising as I am looking to diversify. I will definately be taking a look at your new line. You put out some primo colors.

[@jeremysears9964]

Great test!

[@bobrivett7645]

Metalics are cool, but i will pass on these i think, stick with my enamel & lacquer metallic paints. Now Robert im not color blind and maybe its lighting and camera but the dark green & blue, well they looked black to me, maybe theres a tiny blue tint to one. Im sure its just me though. Celestial Dragon...did i spell that right?....Anyway oh baby, $199 bucks for both Mobius air brushes....my wife is going to kill me. PS. I found a Rivet mark tool(s) on amazon, almost like the old no longer produced Rosie Riveter tool everyone seems to have. Thanks for the video. PSS. Almost 90,000 subs, getting there.

[@ruggedly_handsome1]

They look ok, it's just hard for me to love anything more than I do enamels and lacquers. I'm definitely ready for some more paint tests! ✌️😎

[@InvokeZero]

Finally! I've been waiting for this review for a long time - I've really come to love the Sunin7 acrylics. Between them and Vallejo Mecha, the only time I use Lacquers now is when I need something you can only find in a lacquer lineup. A few things I've learned since starting to use them regularly: 1: They're TOUGH. You didn't go over it in your video, but these are on the same level as Vallejo Mecha paints. I bent my thumb nail back pretty badly trying to scratch their Pure Black off a spoon, and the worst I did was slightly change the tint of the paint. 2: They're very picky/temperamental when it comes to thinners. I've resigned to just use their in-house and Vallejo thinners/flow improvers. Everything else causes issues like the splotchyness you showed, basically it's not blending/cutting properly. When I use their thinners, things like Copper don't have that rough texture issue you had, and you can use either their normal or metallic thinners and spray them like normal or do very thin coats to get a great polished finish - just make sure to clear coat them first as the metallics aren't as durable as their main line. 3: Their clear colors and gloss clear DO NOT cause issues when spraying on top of Chrome. I've played around with it and haven't had any dulling/reaction issues when spraying any of Sunin's clear colors or gloss coat over Alclad, Gaia, or Modo chromes. 4: These also play nice over other water-based acrylics like Model Master acrylics. I used their gloss clear to coat some pieces painted in MM's Arctic Blue Metallic and the gloss coat stuck no problem, and made the pieces tough as nails. They take a bit of getting-used-to but once you've gotten the hang of them, these paints are fantastic.

[@mikepoindexter9849]

Thank you. Great.

[@CharlieHague-m8u]

Your new colors look great. Can't wait to get some of them.

[@jesse-got-dolphins-into-heaven]

greaty stuff

[@rindarusdi]

Nice review, it's an honest opinion for saying good a good, bad a bad. Keep up sir

[@CharlieHague-m8u]

Very nice colors in that line. I always look forward to your tests.

[@danzo5521]

I've used some of their silvers and I really like them. I didn't get any splotches or texture like you did, it might have been how you sprayed them, your coverage looked inconsistent. I really like them

[@sgtatarms4780]

This is a great test of more paint thank you

[@ElvinGonzalez]

I like your mega dark blue, looks like something I could use for the black parts of a Mazinger kit. Very pretty color.

[@markgarrison8395]

Another informative video. Thank you

[@MobiusGT]

i'd love to see some of their glow in the dark paints

[@Eddie-di6eb6cv8v]

As model car builder. I kinda wish there were more vendors that sold correct auto colors. But it’s a great day for customizers.

[@sarahjune8707]

I was given a few of these. I haven't tried them yet.

[@ricksattler682]

Those acrylic blues are beautiful! I look forward to these and the paints you come up with. Cheers!

[@bobdankiewicz9939]

I do like the look of your upcoming dark green! I'm not too sure about the dark blue though, might be too dark but it's always hard to tell for sure on a computer screen.

[@GibbonsWorks]

@Barbatos Rex Whelp, I'm Sold... I did buy the airbrush shadowtail & Rex with a fan cap. Long time subscriber. You, sir, keep up great work. I'll try to upload a couple of my videos to show some of my work.

[@HVACRTECH-83]

When would you use acrylic vs lacquer or vice versa? I'm new to these paints just learning. Thank you for the videos. Thumbs up from me

[@danzo5521]

Acrylic is usually less durable, less glossy but doesn't use some of the stronger solvents that are harmful to your health if inhaled. Acrylics can be good for weathering because they can be thinned with water or alcohol and cleaned up later. Acrylics also don't reactivate previous layers of paint because they don't contain those solvents I mentioned, so you can spray them over any other type of paint. The solvents in lacquers can melt enamels and acrylics if you spray it over those two. Lacquers are durable, can be very glossy, and can be heavily thinned to make airbrushing easier, but the solvents require some type of spray booth or exhaust + respirator with organic vapor filters

[@bogglespc6012]

Just tried out the sunin 7 laquer line and I really liked them

[@Auchaser643]

Acrylics have come far. I understand the safer component of it (still not healthy to breathe in those resins) but they just can't handle anything touching them for a week, sometimes more. Even with primer and top coat varnish they are brittle. I started with acrylics, namely Vallejo model color before I went to the mecha line and while the mecha line is definitely sturdier you still get scrapes, I had a model fall due to someone knocking it over and even with a primer + thin coats + varnish + 2 months of drying untouched the paint chipped. I bought a booth to go with my respirator and bought lacquers, acrylics are too much of a pain. The only color I do miss is the Vallejo blue gunmetal, beautiful color.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Preaching to the quire. The early testing of my new oak t line has been impressive. Do you have the number of that Vallejo blue you like so much, I'll tty and match for my new line

[@Auchaser643]

@@barbatosrex9473 it's 70.800 but I had the old line formula, hopefully nothing affects the color in the new one since it's metallic.

[@gidden2000]

Wasn't a fan of Vallejo's normal paints. Still would like to try the new game airs.

[@lorithies2538]

I always use a clear coat over my acrylic paints. Makes metalic really pop.

[@ibidesign]

Thanks for another review of a paint line I otherwise would never have known about. And congratulations on hitting 90K subs!

[@robertthompson6707]

Thank you for your reviews. Learning a ton from you.

[@chuchuchip]

Slow boat from China. The lighter green would be a great Chrysler Sublime green, I like it for my '70s Duster kit.

[@michaelnorth5528]

Turbo Dork has great metallics in acrylic. I've never sprayed them, but I'm sure you could thin them nice and try them out, if you haven't already.

[@gidden2000]

He has them.

[@goforitpainting]

Cool as always. 👍

[@mariomader8850]

100k will be achieved soon at this rate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@logawnio]

another great one man! those colours were really cool and unusual for acrylics.

[@zazen69]

Back to DaBenchhh!!!

[@gruvin4602]

Fyi for canuks aka Canadians that thinner is 50 to 70 bucks isopropyl works great and way cheaper

[@markwakeley3835]

Some beautiful colors but your right about some of the finishes. That Dark Green looks similar to the Brunswick Green used by the Pennsylvania Railroad on their locomotives back in the day. It was basically a black with a little green dumped into it.

[@chaley2935]

Did you try testing the Sunin with different thinners? Also with those darker colors for your with some pearls and different candy colors over them like red?

[@Avalanche523]

Great video, haven't used acrylic paints yet, this video was very helpful. Thanks.

[@nelsonolivierjr3994]

I took advantage of buying 1 of their compressor bundles. It should be here on the 27th. I didn't see much difference from the 100 bundle compared to the 150 bundle. I will have 2 of their airbrushes or guns .

[@DaneSaysStuff]

That odd texture is exactly why I don't use basic acrylic thinner with metallics.

[@CDRaff]

Is there a complete list of the Mecha Empire paints, possibly with a color chart?

[@zetabola1]

I think that to prevent that texture from coming out, you have to spray much thinner layers. and the surfaces must be very clean, that is the bad thing about acrylic paints.

[@ZefronStudio]

Is mr hobby color thinner t111 / leveling thinner work for this paint? And how much the ratio soll i use?

[@huntergrant9690]

You don't think the tamiya acrylics are better than game air? Or to you treat them differently because they're a different kind of acrylics?

[@InvokeZero]

Treat them differently. Tamiya acrylics are solvent based, Game Air are not. They'll behave very differently.

[@gidden2000]

Yeah Tamiya is a weird hybrid paint. I love them though.

[@HVACRTECH-83]

Would a clear coat fix that texture?

[@ojibuilds]

Hello sir, is it safe to use Tamiya enamel panel liner and enamel thinner (for cleaning) on waterbased acrylic paint?

[@barbatosrex9473]

I'd say now. The thinner needed to clean the panel lines would pull up the paint. Put a clear coat on it first

[@ojibuilds]

@@barbatosrex9473 thank you sir! How about one of those Mr Clean magic erasers you tested before? Would those be better?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Well if you let the Sunin7 dry for 48 hours then you should be able to use Tamiya Panel liner cleaner. Just be quick when using it

[@ojibuilds]

@@barbatosrex9473 gotcha, thank you sir! Hoping to start my first airbrush journey thanks to your videos ☺️ figured I’d start with waterbased acrylics first

[@barbatosrex9473]

​@@ojibuildsa heads up, acrylic paint is more difficult to work with so don't give up at first.

[@kennedygauger4680]

To make these candy are you simply adding a clear coat, or is the candy coat a pigmented gloss paint?

[@barbatosrex9473]

I'm spraying a matching candy on top. So here I sprayed my new candy clear green over the lime pearl Anodized

[@curtcassese1243]

You need to sell merch that says " back to the benchh

[@poppafiveone]

The copper and gold paints LOOK like copper and gold.

[@jeffpeterson6094]

There's new Atom acrylic from mig

[@c00ls76]

Well I was almost first...

[@MartinSparks-ef9gr]

Hi

[@stevenfetterman916]

way too many paints out there....lol

[@gidden2000]

I really like Tamiya myself.

[@stevenfetterman916]

yea, but i'm not making models and such - i paint fishing lures and make / paint fishing floats.@@gidden2000

[@doublet2084]

I would LOVE to support your paint line. But unfortunately I only make military models and the colors you make are all Gundam or Car based. Do have any plans to expand your paint line into more military based colors ????

[@johnferagne3270]

The real dark blue or green looks like the color of eggplant

[@gidden2000]

Im not on your level of painting, and if you are having trouble with them, im probably going to stay away for now.

[@gruvin4602]

Says 35% on top 9f page then u click on ur airbrush is says 29%off Haha not like it's a huge difference...how long are they on sale for I'd like to get one at Tue end.of tje month?
