MrMiles Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Can i use testors enamel paint over tamiya primer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Yes. Tamiya is pretty much the only primer I use, and I paint with Testors enamels frequently, usually thinned with lacquer thinner, but using enamel thinner is ok too.

For the testors enamel bottle paint, is it 2 parts thinner and 1 part paint or 50/50 mix. Ā I haven't airbrush before where i need to thin the paint myselfĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Yes.Ā I start with 50/50 paint/thinner, add more thinner if necessary.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I generally start with a roughly 50/50 mix and adjust from there if needed. I find 50/50 mix to be pretty close to ideal most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill-e-boy Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 That's a big YES from me too All of the above replies cover the mix ratios but I do thin mine a bit more as I use a fine tip on my airbrush The Tamiya rattle cans are good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
