ModellerCH Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Hi, In the work in progress section I asked some help on how to use this kind of paint. I used it with the standard Tamiya thinner and it messed up my airbrush. When in the cup the color and the thinner just split up... Even if I use an electric paint stirrer. An user told me that super Metallic range are actually lacquers and need special thinner. But on their catalog those paints are in the acrylic section. So is there someone that can tell me please how to use them properly? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetblast Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Mr Color Super metallic is based on the Mr Color range & should be thinned with Mr Color Thinner or Mr Color Levelling Thinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwh548 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Never saw their catalog, but on their website the Metallic range is in the Mr. Color section which is solvent based. Like Jetblast said you should use the Mr. Color Thinner or Mr. Color Leveling Thinner (I always use the second one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Noble Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Levelling thinner all the way. They're not acrylics like in a water based sense, so they need a lacquer thinner, hence the levelling thinner, or Tamiya lacquer thinner also.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjw Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 You don't need to thin any of the Gunze metallic range. I ensure it's well stirred and spray it neat from my airbrush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
