Hello Everyone,
I'm new here and I'm excited to join this community! I've come to you all with a question.
I'm currently building an AMT Fire Chief 1970 Impala. I plan to build it as a factory stock and paint it light green using airbrushed Mr. Color lacquer on some sort of Tamiya or Mr. Color lacquer base coat. However, the body is molded in red. I have never painted a colored plastic body before and don't want any red to show through.
I've heard from other forum members that using Tamiya AS-12 as a base coat can block out the red, but it is very hard to find in my area. My local hobby shop does stock the Tamiya TS-101 Base White, which Tamiya USA claims is very opaque and can cover dark plastic colors effectively, but I can't find any third party reviews of this paint.
Does anyone have any experience using TS-101 over red or other colored plastic? Is it any good?
Cheers,
- Mike
