Acrylic Sprays Tamiya-Humbrol Compatibility

[hartleymartin]

Hi Everyone! I just discovered the range of Acrylic sprays that Humbrol has. In Australia, all spray-paint is stored in a locked cabinet to stop kids from stealing the stuff for graffiti/vandalism. I was just wondering if anyone knows about the compatibility between the Tamiya and Humbrol Acrylic sprays. I have used a lot of Tamiya over the years, though I am aware that most of the colours are more for military modelling and cars rather than railways. 

 

I'm just asking because I've used Tamiya grey primer on a project and I really would like to use Humbrol Brunswick Green, but I'm worried that it may turn my model into a pile of plastic-goo if there is a bad reaction.

If the Tamiya primer is fully hardened (dry for more than 48 hours) you can spray or paint other paints on it without any problems.

Thanks. I was worried I might turn some of my models into blobs. I've seen bad paint reactions on brass models, but you can just dunk those in a bath of thinners and start again. Not so with plastic models.
