I've been into models for almost a year now and all this time I've mainly been using tamiya rattle can enamel paints for car bodies. I've had a relatively inexpensive air brush for some time, but after my first (failed) attempt I gave up on it (wasn't aware that I had to thin a paint before spraying it). Never had any problem with tamiya spray cans, but they are getting a little bit on the expensive side...
So I have a few questions.
Does anyone have any experiences with spraying testors enamel? How were the results? Any tips?
Exactly how much thinner to use?
What kind of thiner is the best without spending a fortune?
What kind of primer do you guys (and gals) use? Is it better to use a rattle can primer or can you buy jars of it and air brush it? Is it necessary to thin the primer before spraying it?
I heard of duplicolor paint and primer from people on this forum. Is it safe for the plastic? How about the duplicolor lacquer?
Also what kind of glue is the most effective? I've been using tamiya extra thin glue, but whenever I glue already painted parts the paint usually gets "eaten" away because of the glue. Oh and what kind of glue and paint do you guys use on resin parts?
Sorry for the whole 21 questions thing. Appreciate your help. Thanks.
