Tamiya ts 65 Pearl Clear

[berr13]

I'm looking for opinions from those of you who have tried Tamiya Pearl Clear.  I'd like to hear your impressions of how it looks, and what colors you've sprayed it over.  I'm also interested in drying times between color coats and clear, and generally any helpful ideas about the paint.  Thanks,

I tried it on a two-tone '56 Nomad custom. I was trying to cover Model Master Pearl Orange and Light Ivory. Just didn't get the Pearl Affect I was going for. It may of just been me. So you really should paint some spoons and see what happens before you try to paint your model.

I have used it and liked the results I got. I have used it a few times, cannot remember all the colors. I know for sure I have used it over both Testors and Tamiya lacquers. 10-15 minutes between coats. If you plan to polish you will still need to do a straight clear. Also remember, you cannot spray this over enamel. As David suggested, the spoon test would be very helpful here. It will even allow you to keep track of how many coats are needed to get the effect you are after.
