Thank you for this it seems like everyone else uses an airbrush
haha yeah..most builders now using airbrush..so i wanted to make one simple/ everyone can spray tutorial =D
yeah, i bought an airbrush and clogged it literary the first time i used. quickly ran back to spray cans lol
edit: got it fixed some time ago, turns out if i use the correct paints, it actually works good
I still use rattle can. I personally like the rattle can than the airbrush...
Love the finger pointing 😂 thanks for this simple and easy to understand non-airbrush paint tutorial!
Haha glad to hear that😂🙏
I love your simple idea of a plastic bottle and masking tape to hold it. I have a couple of toy trucks to paint. Thank you for the help.
Thank you for your time and tutorial. I've been putting off my 1/18 custom because I've afraid of painting. You made it seem so much more easier then I thought. Thank you
Glad I could help!
Try using the tamiya nozzle from your used cans on the automotive paint cans for a finer spray mist.
great tip my friend!
@@JHHobby thank you great information ,i just subscribed.
Marking the mould lines like that is a good idea, I’ve never thought of that.
Im so glad to have found such a high quality model building channel! Your tutorials and tips are so helpful and well produced and you've made some of my favourite cars! I look forward to your next builds they are very inspiring!
thank you so much! really glad you enjoy it! that really motivates me to make more! =D
If you don't want the hobby grade paints, I find that Rust-Oleum paints work pretty well. You have to put a bit more effort into polishing it, but it coats the model good
Great results.. I look fwd for the R32 build video
Great tutorial once again, seeing this you made me remember of myself long time ago when I was afraid of using an airbrush and only used spray cans! ☺️ Very well explained and I love that MP R32 😍 Keep up the great work 👍👍
Hey thank you for these videos!I sure wish I had youtube 15-20 years ago when I built Nascar only models. Rollcages and body was the hardest. Regular car models didn't work out to good for me on 67' chevelle and boss 302. Now I'm older and not rush, think I'm gonna try and build a model something with these guide vids.
Haha true what you said..10 years ago there is not much tutorials that i can learn from, i have to try and failed so many times😅
Currently on my 4th build and im still having this "sticky" body problem on my models, im never happy about my painting on body parts, so, thank you for this guide that will for sure helps me get better results in the future.
Great tutorial! Came along at just the right time
Thanks for these videos! I hope to embark on my journey of building my first car model!
Thank you so much. Im doing videos on TAMIYA kits, and some of them needing paint. And I learned so much from this video. Thanks again.
Glad to hear that 😄😄 thanks alot for the support😁😁
thanks.. this is exactly what i was looking for.. great job on the last model..
Glad to hear that!😄😄
Thank you! This really helps alot!
I’m not sure if you’ve ever watched the hpiguys workshop videos. All you ever see him paint his models with are spray cans. He then uses floor polish for his gloss finish. For him, that’s all he needs and he gets great results.
Personally, I use Tamiya spray cans for almost all large surface coverage. I don’t usually use any over coating, I just let the finish stay as it is. For a high gloss finish, I’ve used car paint polishes to get a really nice smooth finish. I haven’t tried the floor polish trick yet on a model but I’ve tried the liquid polish on various surfaces as trials and it’s not too bad.
Most times I use dull coat spray finish on my other models aircraft, armour, ships,and sci-fi which works pretty good. I personally find most spray gloss coats don’t really provide “gloss” to surface - more of a semi gloss finish. But then that’s been my experience only. I’ve seen other models where sprays are used (from cans or airbrushes) and the final result is amazing.
I'm 66 now and been building models off&on much of that time. I have an airbrush, but haven't tried using it yet. I still use Tamiya and Testors spraypaints. I use primer on car models and some aircraft models, especially under gloss paint. I have tried using "commercial" spraypaints like Rustoleum and Krylon, but results haven't been good. One YT modeler uses them, makes it look easy, but I get horrid fisheye and orangepeel, that I don't get using Tamiya/Testors.
Thanks for the tutorial! It was very helpful!
Good tips, it helps.
Pretty
Midnight Purple finish is perfect !!!
One if my favorites colour!😁
Good job!
Well done, your techniques are were very helpful.
Glad to hear that!😁😁
your video tutorials are great!
thanks man! =D
Really instructive video
Thanks a lot! Great tutorial!
On some models kits sometimes just sanding the surface down and making it rough is enough to make the paint stick on
Very good job
I use styrofoam cups to hold my car bodies. Most cups are wider that the inside space and hold them in place without any movement but of late, I’ve purchased Tamiya’s painting gripper stand.
Hey thanks for uploading this in the near future Im going to try this out on a Revell 68 GT2 Mustang. Hope it works out! I hope everything I need for this doesnt break the bank 😅
thanks for watching!~ nice, hope to see your builds!
Nice midnight purple
Amazing video, this rly helped me btw I subbed 😊
Thank you so much!😁😁
Thanks so much for the tips
You're welcome!🙌😍
Ez nagyon hasznos köszi!!!
Another great video my friend. I’ve never done good work with a rattle can, I’ve used airbrush only for 20 years. You get great results! Thanks for sharing your tips and I look forward to your next video. -James
thank you my friend! sorry i just saw your comments =( i always prefer using spray cans because its easier haha (im lazy) but airbrush is always better, give a finer results =D
Nice build bro! Btw how do you correct & polish the paint?
Thanks good info!!
Love your work mate everything is built and painted to perfection ! Had a question for you, I painted a model today, 3 coats primer 3 coats colour, the colour has very noticeable orange peel effect, would you recommend another wet sanding process before clear coat and if so what grit paper? Cheers
Thankss mennn, you aree the besstt! 😀😁
Glad to hear that😄😄
Thanku so much. It was very useful
Happy to help!
nice color
Thank you for this I maybe will use one my Toyota supra and I mean the new supra which came few years
I bought my air pump with a free airbrush and i got another airbrush from harbor freight for $125.00 and they work great 👍
As a tip i would spray a light coat and let it dry a few minutes. Then do it again. I think the more you spray the car or whatever the better it will come out. "And clean the nozzle after each coat." Sometimes the paint builds up on the nozzle and that's where you can get splatter on the car.
ecellant job
You are good my friend, the paint ended up looking awesome. I've tried it once but I ended up messing up the whole paint job. But there comes the saying practice makes perfect.
thanks man! so sorry i just saw your comment =( it's ok just keep practicing =D i too messed up a lot already, even till now i still made mistakes haha
orange peel happens when you spray too thick or don't let it dry enough between coats.
best policy, minimal paint to cover and 2-3 light coats of clear.
Great video and will save a lot of time...only thing I don't get, did you remove the original painting or was it silver to begin with? I preparing to re-paint one of my own and just wondering if it's necessary to remove the old paint because it is holding pretty good to the metal. Or just to remove the paint from the areas like ones which you've marked on this model?
i seem to always get too thick or too runny of a coat, thank you for showing to lightly coat it 3 times
Glad to hear that😁
Fast forward to 8:30 for painting portion.
We use airbrushing because i cannot afford the little spray cans from hobby lobby, like $10 to $12 bucks for like 3 ounces of paint, and the problem with big cans from Lowes depending on where you live, too much gas comes out with paint and bubbles up your paint job, gotta strip it n start over, I've even decanted them which works better in an airbrush because lack of gas , so i quit spray painting, airbrushing gives me such a shiny coat with very little work 😉
when using decals should they be applied before the clear coat or after? thanks
This is amazing, turned out so much better than when I use my airbrush. I might even go back to using spray cans instead.
May I know what paint correction or how you polish it? thanks
Thanks man😁😁 there is a video on how to polish on my channel, do check them out😉 thanks!😄
Good vid man
Thanks man😁
You explain so many things SO WELL. Very easy to understand you. Can clear coat be applied in humid weather? I live where it's very humid most of the year and can't spray indoors. Thank you for sharing your techniques to help us.
Glad to hear that!😁😁 for humid weather its abit tough to spray using spray cans..normally spray cans is 1k clear..but on a sunny day it will work..to really solve this issue, you have to use 2k clear..even raining i still can spray clearcoat without having any issues😂
That's It, you can paint a model by using spray cans and you can get a nice smooth paint finish if you know how to use spray cans.
How did you achieve paint correction on the bonnet of the white car ?
nice tips paint bro
Thank you! Cheers!
thank youuu!
Hey just found your channel, seems great with lots of good info. I didn't see a video on airbrushing, wondering if I missed it? Any recommendations on an airbrush set up for someone to start with? Thanks!
Thanks mate! Yea i did not make video about airbrush yet😂 my airbrush is not really good, so i dont dare too do a tutorial yet
On the last car, is that the Midnight Purple colour? It looks like it. I need to get that colour for one of my cars. I prefer the last one for clear. Have you thought of doing a risky fourth clear coat on the first car to see if that gives a little more shine? Just a thought. I use Gravity Colors 2K Clear and love it, but switching to Zero Paints as I have a VERY long wait time to get the Gravity Colors product to my door. Great demo and great teaching of rattle can spraying. BRAVO!!!
hi, so sorry i just saw your comment now =(( yes its a midnight purple 3 from R34 GT-R code. normally 3 to 4 layers of clear is enough, too much paint will case the panel line gaps gone haha.. i cant get gravity colours and zero paint here =( they produced some really nice and good paints. and thanks for dropping by =D
Great video! Is there any prep needed for painting the other random pieces?
Thanks! Normally i only prep the big parts haha..small parts i only dust it off with brush
I see you used Samurai clearcoat! Have you tried the 2K
hello like thick paint what does that mean? I did not understand the question and the reaction of painting that would be?
I didnt "prep" my model and I sprayed it already with a few coats. What do you recommend I do?
If I want to paint my R32 gtr original factory color what color do I need to buy ya? If like getting a kurobushi paint?
Great tutorial! Have you tried Tamiya X-22 clear coat with airbrush? Any recommendations on it?
hi sorry for late reply, so far i only use spray cans clear, still never use airbrush for clear haha
Would using krylon or rustoluem be ok or not
Hello! Thank you for the helpful tutorials! I ran into a problem unfortunately. Please bear with me, I'm a beginner and I ran into a problem recently with my build. It's a Lotus Europa 1/24 from Tamiya and the main shell is white. After the first base coat, I had some tiny paint holes and some bumps almost as if the paint bubbled in parts of the car, noticeably near a fender and under the rear bumper, probably because of paint build up. I believe that was orange peel?
This is the part where I think I began to get overcomplicated and ahead of myself. I tried sanding down and filling the holes with Tamiya basic putty which is grey. I waited a day for the putty to settle then sanded it so was smooth and in the shape of the shell, holes were filled out. Then, I tried spraying another (2nd) basecoat of the pearl white, and to my dismay, I found out that the pearl white spray (TS-45) I was using was very translucent, and showed the grey putty areas. So, I sanded the car again trying to get rid of as many grey areas as possible. At this stage I have ran out of spray (100ml can), and too eager to finish the shell. It was probably a rookie mistake, but then I tried hand painting the more difficult grey areas with flat-white enamel from Tamiya because I couldn't wait to buy another can of the pearl white.
Now I've bought 2nd can 100ml can of pearl white and sprayed the other parts (bumper, back engine cover, spoiler) and then on the main shell yet another basecoat (3rd). There is still some orange peel from my amateur spraying, one or two grey putty areas (3-5mm in size) you can see when it is well lit, as well as some scribing scratches. You can also see slightly raised patches where I've used some enamel in my amateur attempt to cover up the grey putty areas.
Now I've used two cans of Tamiya pearl white spray, and still have a pretty mediocre shell. Do I buy third can of the pearl white and spray to cover up the grey regions and fill scribing mistakes? Or should I just clear coat it now, polish, and just build the car.
Hey man..owhh dear😅😅 there is a few mistake u made, 1st the holes u mentioned is normally due to oils/stains on the body so when you spray the paint on it, it will react to the paint and causing it to form a dot/volcano holes. The way to fix this is wait it fully dry and sand the paint until smooth..no need to putty.
The 2nd mistake about the pearl white is because pearl white is not meant for base coat, you have to spray a layer of solid white first and then the pearl white.. the pearl white is like a transparent white paint with pearl flakes in it. Hopefully this can help😁 if you have more questions you want to ask, find me on my fb page..because youtube comments had no notification 😅
Thank you for the tips, you're a lifesaver. Yes I'll put a base coat or primer next time. Okay I'll come find you on Facebook. Thanks again for the help!
Awesome! This is a very useful video! Just one question, did you or did you not prime the model? Thanks.
Thanks! Yea i did not do primer because for me its not important, as long as you prep the body properly you can skip the primer part
@@JHHobby I see, i'm new to modeling autos. So this tip is very useful. Thanks for the reply.
Hi what is colour correction please and how did you polish the paint. Thanks.
Great tutorial for newbie, Thanks! Btw where can i get the same purple spray paint of r32 in end of the video?
Glad to hear that!😁😁 u can get it from automotive paint shop😁
Some great tips on here. Thanks for making this video. How can I find the link to get a nice mirror polish? Thanks
Glad yo hear that!😁 u can get those polishing products at automotive parts shop or even Mart or online
thank you, this is great. What clear coat do you use, and does it react with the decals?
Thanks! I used Mr hobby super clear. Tamiya clear works fine too.. and when painting over decals, dont spray wet coat on the 1st layer and you will be fine😁
Hi I am a beginner what do you use for polishing
Love the shine. How many coats did you do with the mr super clear and how long do you wait in between? also are you doing a light coat and then finishing with a wet coat?
3 to 4 coats. Normally around 10 to 15 mins between coat. Yes you need to spray 1 mist coat thn follow with 2 to 3 wet coat
So are you putting a clear coat in between the primer and the main coat?
Any idea what would cause my base coat to get heavy orange peel, after following this exact method? My primer (Mr. Surfacer 1500) was very smooth visually and to the touch. In fact, so smooth that I didn't even sand the primer before spraying the base coat. I did lightly sand the body before primer, though. I airbrushed the base coat, which was Volcano Red by Splash paints. I didn't have this issue using their paint before but I used a different primer, a much thicker Rustoleum self etching primer that I think was actually meant for metal and that turned out perfect.
Nevermind, I figured it out.. turns out it was the weather. Even though it was a clear, sunny day.. I painted the first half earlier in the day, which turned out fine.. it was after 5PM that I finished it, when the sun was starting to set and I guess that increased the humidity in the air, which caused the base coat to wrinkle. It also caused the clear coat to get a milky haze. I need to get an indoor booth, lol. If it's not dust or bugs landing on it, it's the weather..
What clear coat is good for medal cars
Looks great to me 🤷
Yes, you make it look very easy. At what point do you paint the interior - roof lining etc? Do you paint the interior first and then mask off before painting the outside or the other way around?
What does "paint correction" mean?
Normally i will finish all my paints and polish 1st then i will do my roof lining, trims etc 😁
@@JHHobby thank you. I guess you would paint the roof lining etc by brush? You have a very accurate and steady hand. Unless you use a Posca pen? Thanks for the video.
what is 'paint correction' that you referred to in frames 10:39 - 10:46
is there any tutorial about spray paint on the mirror of the car
Hi sorry for my english
I don't understand much English, primary and compulsory?
I would like to try to paint my model with a tamiya spray can, it will be a first and I am afraid that the paint will leak.... thank you
Thank you! Is your base coat a gloss or matte finish?
Its consider semigloss..but it doesn't matter if its gloss or matte, once clear coat is on every texture will became glossy😂
thank you for this video.But I have a question for you, I have to wait 15 mnutes for each coat?I'm sorry if it's already written in the video, but my english is terrible
Yup around 10+mins on each coat for clear😄 colour paint will dry faster around few minutes only
Hey mate do you ever use wax and grease remover after applying paint to clean before clear coat or? Ok to use a paint brush on base coats to brush any dust off too after it’s dried for a while or?
Yes i do clean thm everytime before paint😁
if you really wanted that shine to see your reflection. 3000grit wet sand between coats
do you recommend me putting a grey primer for a gray metallic base coat? or you think i’d be fine with just going in with the base color no primer ??
hi sorry for the late reply. some metallic paints u can use grey primer no problem..but some paints will be more transparent like red/yellow/white and it will need a different basecoat so that the paint coat will be even and easily covered.
Great tutorial very good video asks when you spray paint your car that you want to paint and just when you paint it all the car body painted looks like bubbles what do I do is there a solution to solve this?sometimes it happens to you yes or no?
hi, thank you. may i know the bubbles is caused by too thick paint or paint reactions?
very informative video mate👌......btw can I spray paint directly to the diecast metal car without spraying primer??
Thanks! I the body is exposed with metal its better to spray primer on to prevent rust and better protection..if the body is still cover in colour paint then there is no need for primer😄
@@JHHobby thank you so much 😊
is it last laquer or not needed
How long do you let the paint dry before applying clear coat?
Normally a few hours will do😁
malaysian here ! got lazada or shopee to buy supplies from you ?
ima paint my model with a matte as a vinyl top and a gloss for the body. Any tips on getting a good matte look for the vinyl? and im using rattle cans
hi, never try this before but you can try with semi-gloss clear or matt clear from mr.hobby or tamiya =)
Woow! So nice. I would like to do something like this with some of my diecast cars (1:32/ 1:24) and i have a few questions if it's possible.
1. What's the colour name (how should i look for it) at 12:32? - look's like eggplant. Soooo nice.
2. If the car has its original colour yellow and i want it to spray in electric blue, what do i need to do? (just spray the new color or i have to use something else first? )
3. Can i use spray paint for plastic on metal/alloy?
Thank you
Hey😁 the purple is called midnight purple 3, code LX0
Some paint will be more transparent so its best to spray a grey/white/black base 1st depending on the paint. Yes you can use those paint on your models😁
Hey idk if you will respond or if someone could help me out but In the vid he uses the 1200 sandpaper on the top of the car first then a 3m scotch brite pad on the back and front. I was wondering do you do whole body with 1200 grit then sand with 3m scotch brite? Or when does one use the scotch pad. Thank you
Hi, you can use both actually..just that scotch brite is very useful on tight areas and uneven edges😁
Awesome tutorial, man. By the way, one quick question: if I just want to paint some stripes on the car, do I have to remove all the exisitng paint? Is it ok to tape the rest of the body and just do the stripes?
Use some masking tape and dont spray too much
@@tuqn2377 Thanks, man.
For the brake lights and indicator light. If i dont want to use tamiya clear red and orange, what other ways i can use? Preferably cheaper ways
Hmm..normal orange and red is ok too
