Hi, sifus I have done some research on acrylic vs enamel vs lacquer paint. 1. If I were to choose acrylic paint for hand painting, Gunze Aqueous Hobby Color or Tamiya Acrylic, which is better in terms of: (i) ease of painting, (ii) durability of paint layer and (iii)smell etc? 2. By the way, how does the lacquer-based gaiacolor smell? I mean does it smell nice or does it smell awful? 3. May I know if the Mr. Base White 1000 is one type of primer? Thanks in advance.  Cheers.

QUOTE(rayloke @ Jul 20 2010, 04:46 PM) 1. i won't label/compare them as which one is easier to use. I prefer Tamiya cause it's more opaque, means easier to over the base color. That's the only reason. In terms of brush stroke, i think Gunze's easier to control. Besides that, Gunze is easier to be dilluted by water, while Tamiya, i would recommend using thinner as the medium to dillute. In terms of durability, I think Tamiya is better. In terms of brightness of color, Gunze is better. 2. If u like petroleum smell, u will love everything with resin n thinner. I have the potential to sniff super glue, so it smells ok to me. If u hate petroluem based products smell, I think u will find it smell awful, just like any other hobby paint. 3. no. Base white is NOT primer, it is paint. A very concentrated n opaque one. Rayloke sifu, Thank you very much for your info. It is very detail and informative.  It seems that Tamiya acrylic + Tamiya Thinner is more suitable to me.  4. Is there any tips on how to control the brush stroke using Tamiya Acrylic? 5. May I know if Mr. Surfacer (as primer) and water-based Mr. Top Coat (Gloss) is suitable to be applied with Tamiya Arcrylic? Thanks again. Cheers. |
