No, Tamiya AS spray paints are designed for direct application from the aerosol can and are not formulated to be thinned for airbrush use.
Shake the can thoroughly and apply in multiple light, even coats from a distance of 6-12 inches, using steady, sweeping motions. Avoid applying thick coats.
The paint dries to the touch relatively quickly, usually within 10-20 minutes. However, it is recommended to allow at least a few hours, or preferably overnight, before handling or applying masking tape.
While it may adhere, the color is specifically formulated for RAF aircraft. For other models, Tamiya's TS or LP series paints might be more appropriate.
Wipe up fresh spills immediately with a cloth dampened with Tamiya Lacquer Thinner or isopropyl alcohol. Once dry, it can be more difficult to remove.
Always use in a well-ventilated area, wear a respirator mask suitable for spray paints, and wear gloves to protect your skin. Avoid spraying near open flames or excessive heat.
Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is not clogged by briefly inverting and spraying. Hold the can at the correct distance (6-12 inches) and use smooth, sweeping motions.
Ensure the model surface is properly cleaned and free of mold release agents or oils. Lightly sanding the surface can improve adhesion. Check if the paint has been applied too thinly or too far away.
Immediately after finishing spraying, turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds to clear residual paint from the nozzle. If permanently clogged, replace the nozzle.
This can be subjective. Ensure proper lighting when painting. Consider applying an additional light coat if a slightly lighter shade is desired, or if it appears too light, ensure complete coverage with the intended number of coats.
Setup: Ensure the model surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute after the ball bearings start rattling. Test spray on a scrap piece or inconspicuous area before applying to the model.
Compatibility: This spray is specifically formulated for plastic model kits. While generally compatible with most plastic cement and detail paints from Tamiya, it is advisable to test compatibility with other brands on a spare part. It is not intended for use on metal, wood, or other porous surfaces.
Care: Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. After use, invert the can and spray for a few seconds to clear the nozzle and prevent clogging. Clean any accidental spills immediately with Tamiya Lacquer Thinner or isopropyl alcohol.
