While I have been shooting Tamiya acrylics for years, I had never tried metallics before. I had always hand painted those parts before.
I tried spraying Tamiya gunmetal gray, and it was a disaster! I thinned like normal, Tamiya thinner 3 parts paint to 2 parts thinner, shot at 18 psi. It wouldn't spray unless I had my airbrush wide open. I thinned further, 1:1, when it did spray, lots of splatter. I even bumped up the psi, no luck!
Anyone with experience shooting Tamiya Metallics please sound off!
Thanks!
