discussion Rattle cans

[Jukebox64]

What type of paint do you guys use? And I mean like enamel or acrylic or water-based?

 

[Steven000]

The (regular/non hobby) spraypaint I use is of the 'acrylic' type (and stinks very toxic).

Probably depends on what you like to do with it if you're looking for specific information.

Depends on what its for

Humbrol and revell do a nice range of acrylics

Ive done many car kits using automotive rattle cans

Important thing is to remember safety

 

[Jukebox64]

Mostly, I use automotive brands or rust oleum 2X.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

I have a few Tamiya TS cans, but decant these and spray through an airbrush.

 

[Jukebox64]

Well, these are the paints I usually use.

I use Krylon Matt's to prime my armoured vehicles and sometimes for the Dio terrain.

I don’t know why, but sometimes when I get my first or second coat of paint on my model, it takes forever to dry even in the perfect temperature and humidity.

i always use mr surfacer 1500 black then tamiya ts spray or custom mix paint if painting 1/12 scale cars, finally 4 coats of mr super clear uv cut generally never need to polish as produces a great shine
