- Here I try out Testors Model Master Metalizer Paints. The entire Model Master line up has been discontinued and I wanted to test them before it's too late and you can't get them anymore. And after searching for a metal paint to compete with Alclad , I might have found one that can,
If you like what you see then you better order some before they're gone forever - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

These were my absolute favorite paints. I have become anti Rust Oleum since they took a modeling stable off the market! Personally I thought their brand of paint sucks to start with. Every other summer my father & I would outside metal furniture & stoop railings & I didn't care for the paint. I have used Model Master for years & never had a problem with these paints. The military line were spot on. There acrylics line I thought were the best & easiest to use. I'm not happy with the other types of paint for models out there. I like the Testor's enamels, I grew up modeling with them. My father used my Model Master metallic paints with his woodworking finish for accenting. I hated when they stopped Floquil paints, then they stopped Polly Scale paints. Those were favorites for model railroaders (I'm one). Krylon is used on model r/r rolling stock & buildings.
Well I have some news for you. I'm producing my own personal line of paints and they're enamels just like Model Master. In fact the company I'm working with is replicating the Model Master FS military paint line up. These paints perform as good as Model Master. I'll be doing a video test of them within a week or so
So Rex, where to find this companies line of FS paints?
Love MM metalizers. Been using for 20 years. Any time I find them, I buy them.
love watching your paint testing videos my man. keep it up!
Thank you my friend, I'm trying my best testing out all these awesome paints. Plenty more to come
Great review! Thanks so much for putting this up 👍👍
Your welcome buddy, I will be testing the spray can versions of these soon too
Considering that the originate from the early 80's they certainly hold their own..
Just bought the fantasy war figure set ...good deal ..they look great and very easy to air brush.liked your test clip
Yes, I watch a video where someone else mentioned to eliminate splattering is to keep the air flowing on all the time. And then at the end of each line just release the paint trigger but keep pressed down to keep the air flowing. It looks like your technique is to release the button trigger at the end of each line and restart a little ahead of where you want to paint by pressing the air first then pulling back to release the paint.
When I keep the trigger punched down the entire time it causes my air compressor to run constantly, interfering with the video. I start the air and paint off the piece then come across. If you start the paint and air off piece then that will also avoid the splat effect. UT then that's just me 👍😉
It looks good! I have about 3 metals from MM and the sealer that i havent tried yet, i really like the aluminum plate and gunmetal, even the other colors will be very useful in certain situations, my hobby lobby has them i think im going to wipe out their stock.
PS thanks for trying the spoon test as well and for your reviews.
Great video. Gundam is beautiful
I tried the stainless steel one, the one that says airbrush only. So what did i do? I brushed it on a cowling and buffed afterwards. I must say the result is really really good, so it SUCKS that these paints are OOP. Good thing i grabbed a six pack of them on ebay before they vanished.
Model master also sold a clear sealer that was to be used only on there buffable paint
Why did you not buff just half of at least one of them for direct comparison? You buffed all of them!
Being they had there own sealer for there buffable paint what other sealer will work be its not available now ?
love that stuff using it for years sad day
Yes I do like these. I have 6 more colors I just in to test plus I found the spray cans of them too. I'll be testing those soon.
@@barbatosrex9473 trying to get to the truth on the ending of this line up they may have "some of the colors " fingers crossed
@@666morello Rust-Oleum canceled the entire Model Master line up. So any existing stock is it. I have close ties to a hobby warehouse and they stopped getting anything new in from Testors. Once all stock is gone, it's gone. Good news is there's a bunch still floating around but grab anything you can when you come across it
Well looks like they are all gone. I tried looking for Aluminum buffing and nada! Do you know where online they are still available?
Does Rust-oleum Painter's Touch 2X clear gloss (spray can) mess those up? I'm wondering if we can make non-buffing aluminum + 2X clear look similar to Tamiya gloss aluminum spray paint.
I have yet to try the Rust-Oleum clears. I will buy some this week to try it. I'm curious too
I assumed you thinned the paints before spraying? What ratio paint to thinner did you use?
These do not require thinning. There ready to spray out of the jar
@@barbatosrex9473 Thank you! I found some on Hobby Lobby on sale. I will get some more.
This paint in my opinion is or was the best. I'm having to start experimenting with others out there now. Anybody know of anything similar to the buffing paint that gives the same results? Thank you!
Alclad is as close as I've seen. I had good results with AK Extreme Metal colors too
@@barbatosrex9473 Thank you I'll have to try the Alclad.
Not super impressed. Color is alright. But the shine is nothing to write home about. Alclad and ipp paint look better. It’s not reflective enough. It should look like metal. Not paint. This looks like paint.
