I kind of agree with both sides of this I love Tamiya as far as airbrushing with their paints though I have never attempted to airbrush their colors without thinning them I have only use the acrylics on the other hand I think Tamiya paint sucks as far as using them for brushing which leads me to my next question what other paints are there that I could use to hand brush with because it seems to me to Tamiya paint to dry really really fast when your hand painting with them which in turn leaves streaks any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Okay so this is my question now realizing where my problems have been coming from I'm realizing that I've been using Tamiya paints to hand paint with I've gotten in a good habit of only airbrushing bigger Parts in the bodies of my car the inside I like to do by hand so my question is I'm wondering what paints are you guys using if you're doing any kind of hand painting because I know Tamiya paint suck I like to stick with acrylic any answered was would be greatly appreciated

Just Starting a NSX from tamiya should be fun

Well since you guys gave me such great info on how to fix my mistakes I'd like to stop a mistake before I make one so I have my primer down on this car that I plan on doing in metallic blue I was just wondering what's the best way to bring the color of the metallic blue out should I use a white primer or gray .should I put a base color down. first any ideas guys

Wow guys you are all awsome thanks so much I took a lot of you guys advice I picked up some less violent sandpaper sanded everything back down it actually worked out really really well it's not perfect but I still have my detail lines and I do have a good base coat down so I really appreciate everybody for the awesome help soon as I figure out how to post pictures I'd love to post the body to see what you guys think of how it looks now with the primer coat on it Thanks a lot for the awesome advice to be quite honest with you I don't know how I did it but I actually saved it I didn't realize what you were saying about the Sandpaper being too thick too much grit so I did use a much finer one and I use a trick that a friend of mine showed me how to use this razor in actually get the lines back which I did send it again and then sprayed it Here's the final results

I'm wondering if anyone has any way they can help me out I've never really did much when it came to Preparing the body of the car before painting never really got that much into it but lately I've been trying to do better and get better at it so I was watching a video not too long ago about sanding down the car using a marker finding the lines on the plastic that didn't need to be there so I did that I used 120 grit sandpaper and then use a polishing stick to try and buff out the scratch marks and then added a coat of Grey Tamiya primer one coat only but I can still see the scratch marks from using the Sandpaper I don't want to go any further until I figure out what to do is there anyone out there that can give me a hand if pictures are needed I can definitely send them need help ASAP

Hello guys new here to the site just wanted to say hello and hope everyone's doing well
