Tamiya spray paints never disappoint. I'm digging that clear blue over the gold for that teal look. Might have to do something similar for the Gundam MkV

Thank you very much for making this video and showcasing the colors the way you did. This has helped me out a lot!

Love the blue over the chrome. Maybe I’ll buy the shaker for myself for Christmas.

[@ninthislandrc]

First, v thanks for the video...talk about very helpful info. Since you did this video, they have definitely added additional colors - green, yellow, purple, silver...possibly others (I didn't bother checking online). Personally, I have an upcoming project that I purchased the translucent blue & silver. As I plan on lightly backing the blue with the silver, I'll have to do several 'tests' to determine exactly how many layers of each to achieve what I'm hoping to do.

[@jamesbunch9964]

Incredible video! Would love to see an entire video of some of your work. What do you think? Especially multicolor subjects. Thanks.

[@modelerjerry5119]

Awesome test. I've been meaning to try out the spray cans in these colors since these are lacquer. Definitely decant though and push through a airbrush because spraying from the can is an incredible waste of paint. But when that's not an option for people those cans work great.

[@barbatosrex9473]

I have the Tamiya Lacquer jars too. I'll have to try the clears as I've yet to do so

[@panfilip9963]

Just the video I needed. I have that Tamiya Gold and clear blue, I wanted to see how they look together, and it's great, my 911 Porsche from Hot Wheels will look great with it :D

I recently tried TS-21 Gold with Clear Red, and yes it did come out dull. However problem was solved when gloss coat is applied. At first I'd thought it was due to the environment conditions (i was spraying outdoors). Hope it helps some people!

[@bruceluiz]

7 months later, I must ask: Do you believe it act as a "candy" paint? I have a suspicion that Candy is nothing more than Transparent Medium + Heavily Diluted ink...

The gold smoke combo looks amazing. Ill have to test it on a piece. Thinking of using it on a PG Strike Freedom for the gold parts

[@barbatosrex9473]

Great idea

[@JDL_2020]

I bought my first Tamiya spray cans and they turned out pretty good. First TFD 1/64 slot car body had some sandpaper scratch marks after first coating. I went to 800 grit for next one and Slightly heavier coating. Turned out great. The huge spray pattern is way overkill for this use. Just not sure if I need/want to coat with a clear. I tried to turn over to clear out the tip on my first can, but it just sprayed color wasting paint. At almost $9 a can now with shipping since I can't get locally for just one slot car body it's expensive, but quick.

[@MaxxPainII]

[@cdz2269]

Question sir. Will the polycarbonate translucent colors give me the same effect? Really liking that turquoise you made with the blue and gold. Looking to paint a 1/10 clear body from inside.

[@credoimperialis]

[@KnightofElElyon]

Hi, I really liked the info on this video but I do have a question. In a clear plastic, if you paint it with these sprays and afterward apply a chrome layer over the tint, will the candy color effect be visible from the other side of the plastic?

[@lucadegrandis]

[@randomnickify]

Tamiya has lines of RC/Slot car kits, some of them have body from transparent plastic, my guess is candy clear colors are meant mainly for that series of toys/models, not necessarily for the taillights :)

[@barbatosrex9473]

Tamiya's Poly Spray paints are made for them. I will be testing them too

[@charleslaine]

Please do a test of the Mr Color Spray cans. They have a huge line of colors and I’m wondering if they are decent and how well do they compare to the 10ml lacquer bottles. For example they have a Metallic Blue color. I think it’s # 76. How well does it match the airbrush paint.

[@UlisesBatalla]

Thansks fpr the tipsnad poiters. I have a Tamiya Hot Shot and I want to paint it to look like the special version of the top they no longer offer or sell. The Tamiya Hot Shot gets painted in PS-2 or PS15 even PS37. The special top was red chrome. Mirror-like deep red chrome. I want to use the Clear Red TS-74 and then back it with Silver leaf TS-30. Should I use PS-36 translucent Silver instead? I know I will never get a real chrome, I don't know how they get/got a red mirror-like chrome but I am trying! I need some help/ideas, please.

[@lonewolf9390]

Can't go wrong with Tamiya brand stuff.

You could use the blue for the blue band at the top of the windshield.

Do you use a primer with these and on the spoons?

[@markhanna7645]

What kind of dehydrator is that? If you don't mind me asking, thank you.

[@geoffreywilliamson722]

Hello just watched this and the effects are amazing. I have a question when painting inside a Lexan RC body do you still get the same or similar by using the clear colour first then backing it with the base colour . In effect doing the opposite to what you've done with the Spoon's. Your Geoff

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yes, you should be able to achieve the same results by painting in reverse. Color first then the base. It won't have the same candy effect but it will look good

[@geoffreywilliamson722]

@@barbatosrex9473 hi again just realized that the paints you used are not for Lexan but I've had a look at Tamiya list n there a PS translucent red and a PS gun metal so I'm going to get these and try them on a off cut of Lexan fingers crossed it produces a similar result 👍👍👍

[@toddwalker4301]

Great tests here. I was curious about the red. I have heard that over clear plastic, lacquer can flake off. I'm doing a clear part on the front of a Star Trek ship, and I wasn't sure if this would be a good choice.

It's good for that. Just remember several light coats. Don't flood it on

[@MichaelJones-sd9yc]

If sprayed directly into the airbrush from the can, there is no mess and the paint stays where its best - in the can...

[@JasperStevens80]

This is not messy at all? I cut a small pipet which fits perfect on the nozzle, then I slide a cut down straw on the pipet. Use some tape to fix the pipet to the nozzle. Put some tape over the top of the jar, poke a small hole in it and put the straw down the hole. Now start spraying, no mess at all…done in under 10 minutes. When the can is empty you can cut it open, to pour whats left over into the jar. And you can use the shaking balls. Yes it smells, its lacquer :) use mask and in ventilated area.
