Tamiya Acrylic Mini X-27 Clear Red

Product Information

I've been messing around trying to do Heresy Thousand Sons for a little while now, I have been able to get reasonable but inconsistent results airbrushing Tamiya Clear Red over silver, but I am finding it annoying to use. Cool, thanks. What does water cleanup paint mean? I hope that doesn't mean if my model gets wet the dried paint becomes wet again! Not the best photo in the world but I assure you, all the parts that have been gloss coated are very smooth.

You may also lightly mist a fresh coat of Tamiya Clear with Mr.COLOR LEVELING THINNER prior to applying another coat of Tamiya Clear. For better paint brushing results use Tamiya Paint Retarder (87114) for a smoother brushstroke free finish.I'm not looking for cars, but "car like finish" for my aircraft. I've been searching online and it looks like it is indeed possible to use tamiya x-22 as a clear coat but I looks like they're using laquer thinner as opposed to IPA which is what I was using. This stuff is supposed to be awesome, but it isn't water based paint and I don't know how to deal with it it. I had done this in the past to get paint out of a spray can so that I can spray it in an airbrush. Yes, sounds silly but for some reasons, some color are only available in spray cans. Also, since I want to do an alternate paint sceme, I may not paint the force weapons blue. So I may use the clear red there too over a metallic. Unlike with all the lettering though, where it is small and detailed, this would be clear red applied to flat surfaces. Not sure if it is streaky / coats evenly / etc; if it would work there.

However, I do not have experience with polishing afterwards. I guess it is wise to let cure properly for a couple of days. I find they spray well with Mr. Color thinner. I mix them 50/50 for air brushing. AS far as getting them perfect on transparent parts... not sure how I'd go about that.Thinking of using some of the Tamiya Clear Acrylics (X-27 Red, X-26 Orange, X-24 Yellow) for tail lights instead of decals on the couple of bodies I'm working on. Has anyone had any experience using them in this fashion, or should I attempt using the PS variants (37, 43, 42) - which will require more masking - instead? Now on to your candy rush, they produce a range of candy transparent color for RC, look for them in the 62-071 to 9 range.
