MCW Paint - Spray Can

[bluenote]

Hi everyone, 

I was looking to buy a spray can from MCW and I was curious how much bigger their spray cans are compared to Tamiya.  If you can believe it, there is not a single picture on google of MCW Spray cans.

Does anyone have a picture?  I'm just curious on the size differences compared to regular hobby spray cans like Tamiya.

thanks!

The ones I bought some time ago were a little bigger. Some time has passed, and I couldn't say what they are offering at this time. One thin g to remember is that their paints are often hotter than the Tamiya paints and I think a spoon test would be a good idea before painting your model. A good automotive type of primer is usually sufficient to protect the plastic.

A spoon test will only indicate if the paint is compatible with the spoon. The styrene used to make plastic spoons is formulated differently than what is used in model kit production. Spray the paint on pieces of the parts tree to get an accurate idea as to how the kit plastic would react.

I happen to have a can of Tru-Color spray paint in front of me, which is 4.5 oz., and is listed as 128 grams, which, as I understand it, would be roughly equal to 100 mililitres. The Tamiya cans are 100 mililitres.
