    Great results and good method of application. I finally put a air purifier in my hobby room and that has helped with the dust in the air and I always wet down paper towels and put into my spray booth before spraying

      Yes, most 2Ks are urethane, but it's not the paint that can be the issue, it usually whatever solvent it's suspended in that can be the problem. Just stressing to be careful is all. 😁

    I use tamiya surface primer for my gundam kit. However, the primed surface is kinda grainy, no matter what I do, the gloss black base coat I applied on the primed surface are not very glossy. Any advice guys?

    • @PlamoTherapist
      @PlamoTherapist  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey, I'm sorry to hear that. Try sanding the primer down a bit with 1000 or higher sand paper. Test it on a spoon first to see if that works. If not, you might need to thin it way down and build up the layers. Best of luck! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

    question if i use a metallic paint instead of that alclad paint for last step after the ultra clear coat will it still be candy finish ?

    • @PlamoTherapist
      @PlamoTherapist  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Jamil! Great question! If you use a metallic paint instead of a silver/chrome base and clear coat. You end up with a metallic paint rather than a candy paint. I'm actually working on a video like this right now, so check back on the first Friday of the new year! 😁

      Hey, great question! I haven't had any experience with them, but from what I've heard, I think so! The 2K gloss CAN be polished so I think it'll work, but as always, test it on a spoon or something before going for it on a kit! 😁

    Damn, didn't expect that 2K can be thinned with lacquer.
    Thanks, I gained new knowledge.
    By the way, I saw you switching between lacquer, water-based chrome, and 2K.
    Do you find it difficult to clean? And is acetone the solution?

    • @PlamoTherapist
      @PlamoTherapist  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey thank you so much! The SMS 2K can be thinned with lacquer thinner because it's a lacquer paint. I believe the Splash is as well, but it definitely doesn't need it.
      As far as cleaning goes. It really wasn't a problem since it was a full day between coats, so I took the time to deep clean it. Since everything was lacquer, I just soaked my airbrush in lacquer thinner. Don't forget to remove all the rubber O-rings first!

    How brittle are those paints?

    • @PlamoTherapist
      @PlamoTherapist  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey there. These are lacquers which comparatively are stronger than acrylics like Vallejo and Tamiya. Now they won't stop someone with a hobby knife and determination, but will definitely survive a fall onto some hard flooring.
      Hope this answers your question. I wasn't entire sure what you were asking. 😆
