The only paints available here locally are Tamiya and Lifecolor. I am having trouble in finding anyone who ships, however, I am now using Tamiya acrylics through an airbrush and am amazed at how good they are. Granted that they are not the most economical but if you stick to an advised paint to thinner ration of 2:1 the coverage is superb. I have applied a matt varnish and a gloss varnish without any orange peel or frosting and am impressed by the finish achieved. I think that my enamels will be used for "odd jobs" and when exhausted will be consigned to the bin. Do you use Tamiya thinners to thin the paint?

Kendo54 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Yes , I am using Tamiya Thinners for the paint and Tamiya Laquer Paint Thinners for the varnish (clear cote). Picked this up from a You Tube video. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
