I just wanted to thank you for all the paint test you have posted. I trust your results and they have saved me alot of time and more importantly a lot of money. Thanks again.
Massive thanks to your effort, I'm looking at all these gold sprays and trying to figure out which one I should use for my knight of gold, this video is a lifesaver.
I generally build 1/72 scale aircraft and Foil is my preferred medium for NMF finishes. Once I stumbled across Tamiya Metallic Silver it has become my " Go To " paint for panels which can be difficult to foil successfully. It's sheen is very close to the aluminium foil. When used alongside foil it may vary in tone to the foil, but replicates the sheen of the foil very closely giving a very believable result. I've also used Tamiya Metallic Silver over a base of Tamiya Gloss white to achieve lighter tones while maintaining the metal like sheen. Thanks for the great Reviews and tips. 🍻
Loved your test. So few in modelling ever test or consider spray cans. I love almost everything about Tamiya spray cans (except their lacquer’s reaction to putty, which I minimize by seriously polishing the putty with a cloth, and using a light, then heavy coat). I never could get around to the gradual coat build up of airbrushes, because my models are always heavily modified. I prefer a thick solid coat that then shrinks: Spray cans work differently... I also like the absence of dust particles in spray cans, the much better coverage of large surfaces, the nicer feathering of the spray “edges”, the simplicity and reliability, and finally the resistance to handling. I will use a spray gun for unavailable color variations. Tamiya’s TS-83 spray cans are the only reason I can model bare metal aircrafts. Everything else looks terrible in comparison, particularly Tamiya’s regular silvers spray cans. A model can never be too devoid of out of scale silver grains, which is is why TS-83 beats everything. I was surprised to see even Alclad metallic silver, with a gloss black base, looked very different (to me) in your camera: Slightly darker and less sparkling. TS-83 is so good , I would gladly pay $100 a can if I had to. That’s how highly I think of it. Thanks for your video.
How do you solve the issue of putting decals on your model and weathering after splraying ithe model with TS-83? I'm beginner, and so the question is whether there is an option to have good looking TS-83 on a model with such after effects.
@@giveall9695 I usually don't do much weathering on metal finish aircrafts, so I can't answer that... One essential trick to using TS-83 I have discovered is base coating it with a Revell spray can of either steel or aluminium colour. These are those all-blue acrylic spray cans: They are the best thing ever to undercoating TS-83, because TS-83 reacts unevenly to just about everything else... With Revell spray can undercoating, all my TS -83 issues disappeared, and you can mask off the Revell undercoating to get different metal panel shades in one single step. Metal multi panel finishes are now easier than camo for me, and I get perfect results every time...
money aside its probably the nicest gold paint i have ever seen, making those side by side comps really helped also. Btw that actually looks like it became a real silver tea spoon after the expensive silver paint. The price is too much though realistically.
I think the TS-84 Gold is phenomenal. You just spray it and the piece looks like it's made out of solid gold. I've been astounded by how easy it can be used to get some really good looking results. I spray it over the recommended TS-14 btw.
I've sprayed TS-83 once. was not prepared for $20. Hobby town said it was because the paint has actual metal flake particles. LP-48 sparkling silver is just as good in my opinion. $4 for a 10 ml pot, 60/40 with tamiya lacquer thinner with retarder you can have 80 ml of sparkling silver for your airbrush with much much less waste. smaller spray pattern (less overspray), no wasted paint in the bottom of the can when the can runs out of propellent. no inconsistent air pressure. Spray cans have much more pressure at the start of a can than at the end.
I'm with you but I know quite a few Hobbyist who just can't have an airbrush for what ever reason so I do these reviews for those out there. But I am personally a big proponent of airbrushing. And yes Tamiya jar paints airbrush great.
You can recover that unused paint at the bottom of spray cans and use them out of an airbrush, you gotta be fast and very very careful however when opening the can.
I bet if you clear coated the ones you shot over a dull prime coat they'd come out fine. Filling in those pits that the dull finish has would deepen the finish and shine it up nice! Great video sir!
Sure Alclad Duraluminum over gloss black matches the $20 TS-83, and thank you for the demonstration, I prefer the airbrush alclad over the Tamiya spray can, but your comparison to find a cheaper alternative fails because TS-83 is 3.38 oz ($20) vs the Alclad bottle which has only 1 oz ($8 ).
Thanks for doing this, I ended up going with black gloss primer with the ts83 and it looks fantastic! I also did it without the primer just to see it and the difference is just amazing.
"Alunimum" I Love it!!! LOL Thanks for the videos on paint, and their results, I went out and bought a bunch of Alclad paints because of your video, I was worried how I could make my F86 Saberjet shine like it should, being polished to a mirror finish, the Alclad Airframe "Alunimum" is the perfect color and shine for my kit! Thanks for your hard work!
That's awesome, it's great when you get the right paint for the job. Airframe Aluminum is one of my favorite paints for sure. See you soon, another video coming this week
I'm going to be 55 this month and have got to airbrushs and have been modeling for years since about 8 or 9 years of age and for most of them years I used spray paint it's great to know I still have the option for some projects and thanks for a great video
I’ve had good results with the tamiya ps paint. It’s for rc cars poly carbonate bodies but I’ve used it on polystyrene and it’s worked great. I used the anodized aluminum over a semi gloss and gloss black base. You might want to give it a shot on the next test. Love your videos by the way they have helped me out a lot when looking for products.
@@barbatosrex9473 I’ve only used it over primer and got an almost chrome like effect from it. I really liked it and I’m planning on using the metallic blue ps paint on my current build for the body with tamiya clear over it. My first time trying this as I’ve only used it on small parts so far so I hope it works. It came out pretty good on the spoons I tried it on.
Rattle cans have their uses and place in the hobby no doubts. Anything more than basing or general coating though I have to go Airbrush, Rattle cans are just too sloppy and require far more working than Airbrush after the paint dries. I remember the days when you only had the option for Spray cans unless you had money for an airbrush setup, the difference was night and day on the end results, that said you can get Super high quality paint work from a rattle can if you have the skill and patience to work it. Great video! Tamiya is still hanging onto that crown over the normal hobby paint lines, Alclad's though have become my preference for a few styles and I almost have their full paint lineup.
Thanks for testing these so I don’t have to. I’d happily pay the high price for a chrome finish, but not for any of these. I really like the way you keep all the info simple and concise.
I touch up my transformers. And I love your demo videos. The TS-21 is the closest color that Hasbro is using for them. Keep doing what you’re passionate about.
Cheers, I wanted to ask how to exactly to use ts83 - The question is how to do decals and weathering when you cannot use coat? And how to protect finished model without finishing top coat?
I bought some spray cans because some colors are easier than the Some of the airbrush paints plus we can Deandre thanks again for your work I have a plaster - ceramic Christmas sleigh to do
Thanks for videos gives an idea how colors look/bout to spray paint some metal beads that go on earrings (gothic style stainless steel)but going to put on real gold and white gold -these colors will match kangol hats and watches
Thanks for doing this, I was just gonna use cheap black under coat paint but now I see I can't. I've had that metallic gold on my radar for a while. That price point kept me away. Some parts on my Gundams I want to paint gold and having to buy a Tamiya black alongside I'm gonna have to use this very cautiously.
Hello, I'm recently new to your videos and have subscribed. Man you go through a LOT of paint tests ( and spoons)! Really enjoying it though. Have you tried these: Gravity Paints (automotive colors), Splash Paints (automotive colors) and anything in the Createx lines?? Awesome videos, keep them coming! 👍👍👍 p.s. have you tried finger nail polishes?
Thank you so much for your videos. Your content is amazing and so informative. I've been debating between the TS83 and TS30 for a while for a new build I'm working on. The comparison here was fantastic!
I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. What happens if I apply a good layer of super gloss top coat after the silver color? I want to make sure the kit and the decals are sealed in for protection. I'll be subsbscribing for your future content!
A clear coat will work great. It will change the appearance of the color slightly so do as I do, always test on a spoon first to see the results before your own eyes.
Thanks bud. I’ll be sticking to the Alclad. Not worth the price. I have to ask, where did you find the MM metalizers sprays? Would love to get my hands on those.👍👍
I found them at my local hobby shops. You're going to have to search out some smaller shops and look for old stock. I live in the smallest state and found most of them so in a larger state you should be able to search some out. Make some calls
I’ve started using the gold on a project. It looks very pale to me. Almost just a very light silver with a small touch of yellow. I can’t tell from the video, does it become more vibrant and saturated after a few coats?
@@barbatosrex9473 can you make a vid of what happen if you gloss coat the tamiya ts metallic gold / silver paint... Although the info said that "DO NOT GLOSS COAT" but i just want to see of what happen if i accidentally gloss coat the entire model kit with tamiya metallic gold /silver on it... Pleaseeeee😢... At least post the pic of the result at community post
You did use an enamel base and then put a Tamiya lacquer over it. From the Hobby gods and many diagrams out there is shows that lacquers over enamels is never a good idea. Glad you got to show new guys in the hobby why it’s not a good idea. Will save a few model builds in the future.
@@barbatosrex9473 does your buddy at the hobby shop who had those model master metalizers cans have a website or ship outside MA? I’m looking for those model master metalizers in the 1/2 jars for airbrush. Those are my go to and getting harder to find so I’m trying to stock up.
Before I got my airbrush set up I used the ts84 on my PG unicorn. Took 10 cans but it sure looked great. The paint is nice but would not recommend anybody else to this route. Get an airbrush set up at that point
Thank you for this test. I have been searching for the right shade of gold for some Lamborghini Countach wheels and the Tamiya TS-21 Gold is a perfect match. Haha, funny you say it is gaudy looking but that's a spot on shade of gold for the Countach wheels.
Hi Rex, i just want to check if i put Mr Hobby Aqueous --> TS-14 black --> TS-84 metallic gold, will there be any crack on it? and it also stated no clear coat but using Mr Hobby Mr Super smooth clear Matt is that ok?
@@barbatosrex9473 So does that mean that if I put decals on my model without coating it first, the Micro Sol and Set solutions, or some kind of weathering, might destroy the finish of the color? Or is it durable somehow?
@@barbatosrex9473 did you ever do the test? I’m exploring doing quasi carbon through spray after opening up my older kits and seeing the kits with carbon fiber decals all shrunk and torn WITH a clear coat lolol
It says for plastics. Does anyone have a recommendation to repaint metal? Trying to change color on lamp base and love that expensive tamaiya gold spray, worries it won’t take on metal
Do you have the ability to remove comments? Anyways, buy 4 of these and have them last you 3-4 kits, or buy an entry level airbrush and a few bottles of alclad, and that would most definitely last you longer! Not to say these are bad or anything, it’s just utterly disgusting you have to pay that much for a spray can that won’t last long.. so sorry you had to witness your first spam-mail-bot.
Also, at 11:38, that is only because the undercoat is an enamel. Lacquers are very strong paints compared to enamels, so the gold lacquer basically ate up the black enamel underneath it. But I don’t know, maybe Tamils doesn’t mix with other brands, just like how Alclad hates anything other than itself.
@@gat-x105strikegundam5 It is not Tamiya. You can get away with spraying Lacquer over Enamel with an airbrush by controlling the wetness of the paint hitting the surface but with a spray-can... anything but water base paint on Enamel from a spray-can is gonna be disastrous because you dont have control with spray-can. Good thing is, you can de-can the paint in a spray-can and use them in airbrushes 😉

Yeah I removed and reported that comment. I've had a few but I'm scrubbing them. But yeah at $40 to buy these there's way more options to choose from
Also, at 11:38, that is only because the undercoat is an enamel. Lacquers are very strong paints compared to enamels, so the gold lacquer basically ate up the black enamel underneath it. But I don’t know, maybe Tamils doesn’t mix with other brands, just like how Alclad hates anything other than itself.
@@barbatosrex9473 😅 good thing!
@@gat-x105strikegundam5 It is not Tamiya. You can get away with spraying Lacquer over Enamel with an airbrush by controlling the wetness of the paint hitting the surface but with a spray-can... anything but water base paint on Enamel from a spray-can is gonna be disastrous because you dont have control with spray-can. Good thing is, you can de-can the paint in a spray-can and use them in airbrushes 😉
Did you gross
Too expensive for 22$
For sure. Watch my latest video for the complete opposite of this paint
@@barbatosrex9473 .. once again, a link would be SO NICE...rather than us having to slog through the list of videos..
