Painting T-72 From Tamiya

I used Tamiya's Dark Green last night on my strange Night of the Living Treads project, and I am very happy with the results. It went on smoothly and evenly, and gave a handsome coat. I was less thrilled with the Model Master paint I used, but that was only in comparison to the flawless coat coming out of the Tamiya can.

Out of rattle cans, I've only used Tamiya primer. I've used the MM line of rattle cans and they were great.
As PantherLehr said, place the can into a pan of warm water for a few minutes, and agitate the paint by actually swirling the pan gently. These paint cans will lay down much more paint than an airbrush, so just be careful. Spray a mist coat, uniformely, from one side to the other, then repeat until you get total coverage. Do not linger on one spot for too long as the paint builds up...FAST!

ive used a Tamiya sporay can before and the finnish is realy good, when dry

its not too bad from the can, a sugestion i have heard before and worked well for me when using a spray can is to put the can in warm water for a little while before shaking it, the paint will become more "liquid" and spray better ,you don't want too hot here , just warm...if you heat it too much it could blow up

something else i'll mention , if you decide to get the paint out of the can and then use it with your airbrush tamiya does NOT use acrylics in their rattle can line of paints....they're laquers...i learned this the hard way. i bought a can of tamiya spray can primer and used a straw to get the paint out into a jar then proceeded to happily spray my model with it, it went on great but then came the time to clean the airbrush. i attached my normal windex jar i use to clean it and realised to my horror it didn't do anything , then i tried some turpentine i normaly use to clean my brushes after drybrushing with oils and that also did absolutely nothing. had to wait until the next day before i could go to my LHS and tried testors laquer thiner and that managed to get my airbrush clean with some work (by then the paint was dry)

oh and don't spray the paint into a jar and expect to use it some other time , the paint keeps some of the compressed gas traped in it and over time it will build up pressure inside the jar and end up leaking paint all over the place....i also learned this the hard way
