The biggest challenge to handbrush painting is gloss painted model cars. I would love to see someone show how to do this, especially with acrylics.

That is a tough one. I know someone who did a great job on a car with Vallejo, I'll ask him how he did it.

I got hold of him. He used a metallic colour from the Vallejo mech line. He airbrushed it, let it cure, 3 coats of clear gloss and polished it. Was a really nice finish. He said the metallic colours worked best for some reason.

Those that can airbrush, airbrush. Those that can't, use a brush. Airbrushing obviously need a bit of practice but ultimately it is better imho

Indeed. It is a personal decision and many factors like space, affordability and how serious you are about your hobbies all play a part.

Not true as I use only spray cans and (occasionally) a spray gun with Co2 cannister. I tried airbrushes and never liked them, particularly the cleaning, cost, noise and the requirement of a compressor (airbrushes do not work without a compressor, as the low output causes Co2 canisters to freeze, but no one tells you that...). Tamiya Spray can "hotness" caused me endless problems (reacting with putty and even plastic through their own primer!!) until I found Revell acrylic spray cans (the blue cans) which made a hard enough undercoat to "tame" the Tamiya lacquer... The only thing I can't do is German mottling. Soft camo edges with spray cans also cannot be done with mere "sausages": They require the deep overhang of a uniformly raised and fairly stiff paper, and still you often have to "take back" excess overspray that creeped too far under it, simply by using a brush with diluted paint (at least in a few spots over an entire airframe). Soft camo edges are hard yet still within reach, but the hazy German mottling is near impossible without an airbrush, as it is too diffuse for the coarse spray of Tamiya spray cans (and probably most of the other brands as well)...

Can you fix gloss testors enamel paint that has runs and brush marks after the paint dries?

If you don't want to strip it (recommended) as long as the paint is really dry (hard) you could try using wet & dry sandpaper, wet and see if you can get the blemishes sanded out. If successful then you can clear coat. Go easy, take your time or you will go through in spots. If the blemishes are minute, you could try using car wax and buffing them out.

Thanks Terry for that great video. I'm going back to brush painting. I find that I'm spending all my time cleaning my airbrush, and trying to figure out why it's not working well. Its become the biggest part of my hobby. Question! I want to use Tamiya acrylic paints any tips for brush painting with Tamiya?

why not use an even bigger brush when doing somethiung like a 1/24 car model body?

It can be done. One must be very careful. You need a paint/paint mixture that is slow drying and self leveling. Without these two attributes you are likely to get brush strokes in your finish. We've seen pretty decent results using enamel paints but acrylics might be tricky due to their (typically) fast drying times.

Thank you for the content and education. Are you applying a Primer first before the base painting? If yes, Primer by brush as well? What brand Primer may you recommend?
@hobcen
Жыл бұрын
I asked Terry who said " No I usually do not use a primer-but when I need to I pop outside and use the Tamiya white or grey spray primer-Good Stuff to use!" I might suggest if you want to prime, we are getting great reviews about Mr. Aqueous Spray Primer. Great coverage and good base with much less odour than the Tamiya Spray Primers (Bill)

Nice presentation. When using Testors enamels, do you thin the paint? Second, what retarder do you use for enamel paints? Finally, when using 3 coats of model master, how long do you wait for each coat to dry?

We passed your questions along to Terry who said : I just make sure the paint is well stirred. I do not use a retarder-but will use a few brushes to avoid streaking Usually wait 24 hrs between coats

Terry said he has not tried the Tamiya enamels. He has used the lacquers and said they hand painted nicely but the smell factor made them less user friendly.
