How to paint brush clear

[Milo]

I have a tamiya acrylic clear, and I was wondering how to brush clear. I just did a horrible body job, but it's better than some of mine. (my airbrush broke)

The best way and suggested way to brush Tamiya acrylics is to thin them with retarder. I use Liquitex retarder but of course Tamiya recommends their own. And you use touching strokes or so called lapping strokes not over lapping strokes. That's the fancy way to say your brush strokes should touch one another. With the retarder the paint will naturally flow together. 10 other people will come along and tell you ten other ways but that info is right from Tamiya and it's how I use the stuff.

So I brush Tamiya acrylics but I don't do entire bodies with it, so that part is up to you to learn.
