About this deal

I actually find the Tamiya Translucent a to be a nice even finish when brushed on imo. I did my Lego 911 RSR lights with clear yellow and you can hardly notice any brush strokes, it really seemed to flow and hide any brush marks just fine.

However, I do not have experience with polishing afterwards. I guess it is wise to let cure properly for a couple of days. They take regular thinner (I had no issue with the Tamiya XV-20A, Vallejo Airbrush Thinner, and FW Clear Solution).

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.Tamiya now recommend that for missing colours you use the PS spray paints and simply spray into the cap for brushing." Thin X-22 with X-20A acrylic thinner, at about two parts thinner to one part X-22. Airbrush at a lower pressure from a closer distance. Have used it but tend to thin Tamiya paints with standard cellelouse thinner now and they level out lovely and the finish is a little smoother.

I may have been using it wrong, but I use it a lot for blood, as it has a very nice, glossy look to it. I'll paint the model normally, including the part which will be bloody, and then add the red over that. It doesn't have 100% coverage, so the paint bellow shows through a bit, but that is why I prefer it to other methods. 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? when it comes to "clear coloured" paints, I have the usual jars of the Tamiya clear paints like X-23 clear red, X-27 clear blue etc.

It takes a long time to dry, this won't be a problem when doing big batches but I was experimenting on an old Predator and despite waiting for what seemed like forever I still did the second coat too soon and it glooped up horribly.
