I literally just started modelling my first 1/24 scale car. (a Porsche 959 by Tamiya) and came across this channel and series. Its helped me so much thanks for the awesome work and clarity.
@@BroadPNG its very cost efficient to use the spray cans. The smaller pots and air brushes are only really necessary if you want to go into extreme detail.
Man I‘ve been following you for a while now, with my intent to do a build myself getting bigger and bigger with each video. This series could finally give me the information and courage to start my first build!! I‘m really looking forward to the next episodes, keep it up!
This video is crazy informative, ur so thorough and detailed in ur explanation, and the music is so good, even if I wasn’t tryin to learn I’d just stay for the relaxing vibes mmao, love the vids
Hello😊. A very good tutorial Video and just in time. After many many militäry builds and dioramas, i decided to build my second car in 1/24. The first was not to bad but far away from perfect. So your Tutorial comes right in time. Thank you for that. Greets from Germany. 😉
Wow. Concise dictionary of how to spray a model car. with all the explanations to actually understand why i m doing it. Best beginners guide on the subject i ve seen.
Im so happy your doing this series Jun. The first video was a big help. So informative and fun to watch. Cant wait for the next one. Again, great job!👏
Hello Jun, been watching your videos for a couple months now and you have encouraged me to get into the hobby. Really loved your honda F1 car you did. I also wanted to ask what garage diorama do you have? Thank you, your my inspiration to do my best.
Your videos are truly awesome even watching you show off these products its a thing of beauty. I consider you an artist not just a modeler. My friend I'm so glad to watch you videos thanks a bunch.
Yeah very nice video good talk though with plenty of hints and tips for sure I really enjoy videos that explain the processes. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist
Video came very timely, became a fan because of your R34 and supra video, thanks alot, have been picking up quite alot of tips from you, can i also ask for the paint to thinner ratio that you use for tamiya's acrylic paint when airbrushing and handbrushing? Thanks alot btw, and please keep up the good work!
I can’t believe this video has been published 5 days ago and I just saw it today! Great stuff as always. Regarding the primer, does that mean the main purpose of the grey primer in the previous video was to amplify the imperfections so we can sand them down? Also, does that mean our first layer of primer should always be grey regardless of what colour we use for the body?
That’s right! The grey primer is to reduce the light reflection on the shiny plastic body so mold lines and imperfections can be seen more easily. Grey primer is generally used as it is easier to work with. Once it’s passed the “grey primer test” then you can choose(or keep it grey if you are painting dark colors)a different undercoat depending on the final color of your choice.
I really like Tamiya's spray paints overall but I think Tamiya's TS-13 Clear is better for topcoating over tinted windows since the intensity of the shine is higher than other brands. I personally like using Mr Hobby Premium Topcoat Gloss for a lighter shine and Mr Hobby Super Clear Gloss for a bit of a deeper shine, since they have a shine to it but it's not as much as TS-13 and is a bit easier to use. One thing to note is Mr Hobby paints tend to spray a bit wider for the area compared with Tamiya.
Hey Jun! I'm now getting into car kits because of you! I'm super excited to start this hobby and I'm learning alongside your videos. Do you have the video on the airbrush and painting the rest of the parts?
Hey Jun, great video! I have a question. I just got my Tamiya spray paint, and when it arrived I found out that it is a polycarbonate spray! Is that bad? Can I still use it on my scale model car? Or do I have to return it and get a TS paint.
It can be used but it’s designed for use under plastic rather than over plastic so the finish may not be as glossy as you’d expect, the big difference is it’s designed to be flexible and be able to move with the flexing RC body’s.
I did make tamyia r33 gtr before, I wanted to painted in midnight purple but tamyia doesn't have spray can for it, luckily for me they have a guide in instructions how to make it on the tamyia paint and the results is ok
Damn, the part that i was really interested in seems to be missing entirely - i don't think there's a part three? I am wondering at which stage things like window trim, head and tail lights (the backing for them, rather) etc gets painted, and how you glue things like wipers etc onto the clear coat. Great video, great idea for a video too, just sad it's (the series) not finished.
It looks a little more realistic if it’s painted in black or grey. But you don’t have to paint it with an airbrush. I used to paint it with a paint brush before putting the windows in. If you are to airbrush it then it’s better to do it before painting the body(just hold the body upside down)so the spring clips won’t get in the way. Whatever gets the job done. 👍
Hello from Melbourne. Many thanks for your informative video. If applying decals and setting solution, would you apply them to painted surface then add the clear gloss? Regards, Mike
Yes that would be the usual way to apply decals. But if you are applying clear gloss over decals, it’s better to apply thin and mist coats before going fully wet coats because the clear coats will melt the decals if applied too heavily. I usually don’t apply clear over decals unless the project has a lot of racing decals. If it only has a few(emblems and model type)decals I would just put them on at last. If it’s your first car then I would recommend not clear coating over decals at all. Hope my answer helps!
Very informative video. I'm building that kit as a 1:1 tribute build of a car my son had and I'm curious as to where to find a set of those 6 spoke tuner wheels and tires you had on it ar the start when it was under primer. Any help much appreciated.
Can we use the spray paint during a winter like under 50 degree Fahrenheit? And in the video that you make? When do you spray the paint? Is it during fall, summer or winter?
It is possible to spray paint under 50F but the paint will have a hard time being evenly atomized over the surface and it will take longer to dry and cure. I wouldn’t recommend it but if you wanna try it out, I suggest warming the can in warm water and warming up the car body with a hair dryer before painting. You might also need to keep it warm after painting so the thinner can evaporate properly.
Great question. I prime all parts, but I also use acrylic paints for small parts and the primer helps with paint adhesion when it comes to using acrylic paints on bare plastic. There is nothing wrong just spray painting them as is though. I will explain a little more in the next episode when I use airbrush to paint the rest of the small parts.
Hey jun I have a bit of a concern about the tamiya clear coat, i was building a model car and after spraying with primer and base coat, I sprayed 3 coats of clear coat but somehow melted/ ruined the paint is there any advice or is there anything I’m doing wrong?
If i got a debris while painting the 3rd coat what should i do then? Should i sand it first or continue until the clear coat? If yes, which sanding grit should i use? Thank you!
My model kit came with the bumpers and spoiler not on the car, should i put them on the model and paint them all together or should i paint them individually?
I recommend gluing them together before painting if it’s your first kit. That way you can fix imperfections at the beginning stage and lower the risk of ruining the painted model with glue if not careful.
Mr. Jun. Can I ask you something very annoying thing about building a model kits? My problem is, there a residue left on my model kit that I making, and I am using tamiya masking tape. What is the tips for this to remove the residue?
Great question. Tamiya’s masking tapes usually don’t leave any residues on painted surface. I suspect that the cause is coming from the soft paint that hasn’t dried completely. In that case, the masking tapes will create marks on the paint when you push the tapes hard on the painted surface. Did you use tamiya acrylic paint as a final coat? Tamiya’s acrylic paint(bottle)is soft and it takes a long time to dry to a hard finish. I don’t recommend using it for car bodies. If you use Tamiya’s TS paint(spray cans) then the paint will dry to a hard finish. It is great for sanding, polishing, and masking tapes won’t leave any marks on the body. Thank you for the question and I hope my answer helps.
@@JunsMiniGarage maybe you are right. The drying time of the top coat not really cured enough. I am not using taniya acrylic clear coat, yes, it is long to dry that paint. I am using a 2k too coat (for car). I dont have issue lately about my top coat ever since. Its just my last kit that I am doing right now (aoshima hiace). Maybe this kit way to big than my usual car kits that I done creating. Thank you so much for answering my question. And hopefuly, for the future of your video, hoping you add this problem for removing the residue of the masking tape. 👍
@@JunsMiniGarage Mr. Jun, do you prefer the top coat/clear coat - tamiya ts spray can? Or, do you have any recommendation for top coat/clear coat as a final coating.
It’s hard to say but it could take anywhere from 10 days to a month(even longer if things went wrong during a build) depending on the experience, the difficulty of the car, and how “perfect” you want it to be.

Sand debris area with 600 grit, feather into the surrounding areas with the sanding. Paint another 2 light coats of color, let dry, then clear.
@@mrb2917 thankyou!
I want to have a real car like glossy paint finish on my cardboard model car, how to do this? I have only poster colors
"Don't paint light color on grey primer" Can't agree more. Guess how I learnt it.
How long do you let the clear coat dry before sanding?
Usually 5 days. I will wait at least 72 hours before touching the body.
