no. i prefer DX202 better than tamiya clear red.
u still need to follow the step.

mr.hobby primer 1000->tamiya silver->Tamiya clear red->clear top coat

for Clear Red, it is hard to spray it thoroughly & average. Certain part may thick paint & certain part may thin paint.

u can try it at spoon.

just my scent. So far DX metal Color really good. I like the effect.

another example.





good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion bro.

BTW i often saw ppl mention about polishing model kits,how do we do that actually and what tools are required?

hi! I'm just new in Malaysia, may I know where I can buy Bosny spray cans here in KL? or is the brand being sold here?

The brand sold here but since i don't live in KL, all i can say is that try to find it in hardware store or supermarket.

thanks! I've been looking for hardwares, it's just I don't have a car so I mainly rely on trains or buses. hehe.. hopefully I can find one soon I will invest for an airbrush again (I already have one in Phil) but want to practice in spray cans again first

I will heading to Home-DIY to checkout but as for the alcohol alone where should i look?

alcohol can get from pharmacy

hi all sifus,
i just bought a sparmax ac55 compressor with preset 45psi however there is no option for me to control the air pressure on the compressor itself.anyone know what accessory can attach to my air brush to control pressure?
thx

My airbrush started spitting water every few seconds when I spray. Tried googling and the solution is to drain the airbrush compressor tank. The problem is I can't find the drain valve on my compressor. Any idea? My model is as per attached image.

From what i kind find is either use Sparmax valve controller ( http://www.sparmaxair.com/product_detail.php?id=3&r=28 ), the one with moisture trap but not sure it can fit to your compressor:



or buy an airbrush that have pressure controller which have a knob at the front part of the airbrush but i haven't personally use it. Which look like this:


Yours don't have the tank, just the compressor so most likely the water build up in the hose. What you need is a moisture trap that connect directly to the airbrush like these:



Also check you moisture trap that located below the pressure knob to see if there water build up there.

Thanks Khai62, that make a lot of sense

I have the same problems as you before, I have air compressor w/o tank.I have water filter at the tank plus I added a mini water filter at the airbrush. But I still have water condensation problem, sputtering water after prolonged used of compressor.
My solution, I built a DIY air tank. Now I dont have any condensation issue.
