Problems with Tamiya white colour.

Sep 06, 2003 3 Replies

Everytime I'm working with white from Tamiya, I've get problems, because the paint always, in the kit, seems to have very small bumps, and always I have to sand it smoth.



What is the &%&$#)? with that colour? All the others work nicelly?????????'

I've had that problem too, and with yellow as well, but using an airbrush, laying down light coats and keeping the paint thin enough seem to solve the problem.

Hi Mark,

I'm using a Bagder 175 Crescendo, and I thin the paint properlly, but with no results :(

try thinning it out to the MAX...... then use ultra thin coats to get the right finish... I've also had issues with their white. and Yellow is always a problem... plus make sure the model is totally dust free. and try to use a primer
