MrMiles Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 Can i use testors enamel paint over tamiya primer
Bainford Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 Yes. Tamiya is pretty much the only primer I use, and I paint with Testors enamels frequently, usually thinned with lacquer thinner, but using enamel thinner is ok too.

For the testors enamel bottle paint, is it 2 parts thinner and 1 part paint or 50/50 mix. I haven't airbrush before where i need to thin the paint myself
Snake45 Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 Yes. I start with 50/50 paint/thinner, add more thinner if necessary.
Bainford Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 I generally start with a roughly 50/50 mix and adjust from there if needed. I find 50/50 mix to be pretty close to ideal most of the time.
MrMiles Posted November 23, 2021 Author Posted November 23, 2021 Thank you guys. Im siked about this next kit
bill-e-boy Posted November 24, 2021 Posted November 24, 2021 That's a big YES from me too All of the above replies cover the mix ratios but I do thin mine a bit more as I use a fine tip on my airbrush The Tamiya rattle cans are good too
MrMiles Posted November 24, 2021 Author Posted November 24, 2021 I ordered a bottle of the lime gold paint. Im going to attempt a 2 tone with white on a 72 chevy pickup
