johnbuzzed Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Is it OK to use Tamiya's Clear Pearl aerosol over Testors One Coat Lacquer? Thanks in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillyb1 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 While I've never done so, I assume that there wouldn't be any problem doing so. Tamiya paints aren't all that "hot" and the Testors's lacquers are just as durable as Tamiya's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 It should be OK John. I've sprayed the TS-13 over Testors One Coat. Might be a good idea to do a spoon test just to make sure though. I actually once sprayed Tamiya paint over uncured Testors enamel in the hopes that it would crack and craze, but for some crazy reason, it came out slick as glass. Maybe I should have hoped that it wouldn't. Then, it would have cracked and crazed like all get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanesteele240 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 spoon test. spoon test. spoon test. i have learned that spoon test are the greatest thing ever. if i have a new clear i will put down paint some copy right decals off the sheet and spray the clear to see if it jives. the few seconds thes steps take may save a set of decals or a great paint job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 No reason why not! Both Testors Model Master lacquers and Tamiya lacquers are non-penetrating formula. I've used both interchangeably, with no detrimental results. Art Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
