Dan, we had a discussion recently about this.. it appears some tamiya paints will eat into the coat underneath them... now as far as curing I give my paints 24 hours between coats as to be safe... 1 to 3 hours they should be very dry but I don't think cured would be applicable...

Hoever, even on a N1K1 I built recently, several WEEKS later Tamiya smoke ate through the underlying green... and it was dullcoated on top of that! So if what you have available is Tamiya then I would clear coat in between to be sure.. (Future works WONDERS at protecting the underneath coat) or if you have Model Master or other brands such as Vallejo available you won't have them eating through the underneath coats...

Good luck to ya!!

Tamiya acrylic paint.

I'm a little confused as to what kind of paints Tamiya are. They say acrylic paint yet when I try to either wash with another colour or re-apply a seond coat it eats away at the first coat. I've left them to cure for well over 3 hours (on the jar it says one hour)!!

I've used other acrylic paints before and they were water based and cured in about 10 mins (not even) and you could wash or do a second coat without worrying about the second coat eating the first coat away. A major negative point in my opinion.

Do I have to clear coat before washing even with the same paints????Angry [:(!]
