BigReg Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Can any one offer me tips on spraying Tamiya metallic? I used the Tamiya paints and used thinner to the consistency of milk technique, is it the same with metallic? Thanks in advance, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwart Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Black undercoat and lots of really really thinned out paint and lots of patience.Thin enough so you do 5-10 coats to get a smooth coverage.

rmcclure Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Depends on your tip size as well, if you get my drift! My old 0.5mm AB shot Tamiya metallic very well but I've found the pigment just a little too big for best performance with a newer 0.3mm AB. I switched to Vallejo Modelair Metallics and have been getting great results. Very varied range of colours too. Cheers, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
