Fantastic video mate..red turned out fantastic...luckily in Australia we can get the Lp paints..love the idea of using the LP-9 as a barrier looks like the way to go in regards to bleed through...as always appreciate your efforts in doing these videos Paul.
You can go off people ya know!! you make airbrushing look so easy!! About time we had some new paints and i'm looking forward to trying them. GT40 looks great, nice one fella.
I bought one of each this weekend no matter if I need it at the moment of not. These are amazing! As for adding the thinner, add the thinner directly to the bottle to the first lip and it works amazing
It’s not a miracle I can spray these neat it doesn’t mean its correct. Thinning them to their correct ratio is using them to their full potential and the correct way to use them. Take advice from an experienced modeller that’s used these paints for years
Didn't realise that I could get Tamiya Lacquer in a bottle I love their cans I going to have to buy some more paint now. Just what I needed a rason to spend more money on models. Another great video

Love that red. Using LP colours for some time. Here in Africa we don't get hang up about the labels - so we have them for some time. Thx for the video - haven't used the clear yet - so that was good to see.
Good review, really enjoyed watching it. Bought a few of these just after they first came out over in Poland whilst on holiday there. Yet to try them, but they look like a real winner!!
For How many 1/24 car bodies does usually Tamiya Laquer Paint bottle 10ml last? With me i finished 1 LP 02 on ONE SINGLE BLOODY BODY 3 coats … over light grey primer …. Any tips here because they come expensive
Hi Paul. I´m just starting out and I´m following as many of your videos as I can. The big worry is the clearcoat as, for me, the 2K approach isn´t an option as I work in the house. I understand the risks of melted decals and the need to be careful. LP-9 look a possibility but is there any other non-2K solution that you´d recommend. Many thanks...
Well, trying these paints right now. Tamiya Grey primer. Mixed Gloss White with a few drops of pure blue. I added too much blue but I'm rolling with it. Doing a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback. I'm really bummed out with the color. I was shooting for a slightly tinted white with blue. Oh well. Next time . Lol
The Tamiya LP range has been available here in NZ for about a year, now. I bought a few and tried them, using them alongside the Mr Color Range (not the Aqueous). I finde them fully the equal of Mr Color BUT I don't particularly like the fact that they come pre-thinned (but not to airbrush thinned) as the Mr Color is much thicker in the bottle and therefore lasts much longer as you can thin it out, making Mr Color go a lot further in use than the Tamiya bottle will.. But Tamiya have put out a fine range of paints and I, too, will look at using the clear coats alongside the Testors Gloss & Dull coats I have.
Have you used the retarded thinner? Just wondering how it compares to Mr Leveling Thinner. As you probably know getting Mr Leveling thinner in NZ is a PITA.
Good video. I’m just about to start airbrushing models and I purchased one of these Tamiya paints. I had a question about your mixing ratio. Earlier in the video you said mix it 60:40 but then you did 10ml paint and 30ml thinner (which seems more like 75:25). Which do you prefer? Thanks.
Either will do and it depends on the paint colour, white reds and yellow will require less, darker colours you can push a bit more - Thanks for watching - Paul :)
I'm building a 3D printed plastic 1/16 RC tank and I'm wondering if I can use Tamiya XF acrylic paints (round bottle) for the lower hull, or should I use LP instead. Will LP have a significant difference against XF series in terms of protection from scratches, paint durability ?
Good vid again Paul, nice looking paints! Interesting use of the 'barrier coat' to stop bleed through, but I'm not 100% convinced it actually worked. I've always thought bleed through was due to how opaque or not the decals are. I've always applied gloss coats before decalling on both cars and aircraft, and I've had bleed through on various colours with various decals, and with other decals no bleed through at all.... Whatever, that GT40 is looking absolutely stunning!
They would already have it if their government didn't have a problem with a label having foreign language printed on it. We have had it in Australia for ages now. But I guess when you need to cater to the american market, you have to speak American.
Hi Paul Firstly , really loving the channel and the great content so far. Do you really think that the LP9 could be used solely as the final clearcoat then ? I work at a small desk in our living room and have tried 2k clear but it stinks the house out for days so not very wife friendly lol I've been relegated to clearcoating in the garden with rattle cans. Tamiyas lacquer paints don't seem anywhere near as smelly so was thinking the LP9 might be a viable substitute. Anyway keep up the good work mate.
You could but it’ll take alot of thin coats building to wet coats near the end. I would use the mr hobby if clear in a spray van myself. I’ve had good results with it. Look for my yellow rx7 build on the channel
Late to ask but I’m trying Tamiya LP paints and love the results. My question Paul is how long did you wait between the LP-9 clear coats pre-decal. I watched the video again in case I missed it but it’s not mentioned.
Thank you for this video. I too use a lot of TS paints but I love to try new paints. I will use the LP9 as a sealer coat as you demonstrated. And I am sure I can buy the paints on EBay. Also are you in the process of filming episode 4 on the DBS. I have finished mine and want to compare it to a professional's model. Thanks and take care.
Hi, beautiful job on this, I've watched the video a few times now and may have missed it but how long do you let the paint dry before using the Tamiya clear. Apologies if you've already covered this.
I've managed to find a big range of colours here in australia, I'm re spraying hot wheels cars so thinking of putting a base coat down on the metal first, maybe an LP flat white or flat black depending on colour, any thoughts?
Great videos...I'm just starting out, what is the primer did you say you used on this car...Tamiya Pink primer TS..etc... I am actually building Tamiya motorcyles and doing the ducati which has Italian Red on it...some paints look like they are going to be acrylic for some parts and enamel for some parts as I couldnt find equivalents in lacquer for them, unless you know what the matching LP is for these: (X5=LP? , X6=LP? , X9=LP?, XF19=LP? , XF54=LP? , X12=LP?, X13=LP?). Is there a generic base coat that I can use that can take acrylic, enamel and lacquer? or anything specific you think might be good? I have looked on the net and couldn't find anything on these specific paints/colours. If you have the time could you let me know please or even a link I can get the answers...Thanks in advance...
Hi David I use our Primer Ultimate Modelling Primer and we've just released a pink one ideal for reds, have a look at my latest video build of the Honda NSX I use it on that, as for the paints i've no idea sorry as they do not all cross over colour wise - Thanks for watching - Paul :) www.umpretail.com
what psi do you use for airbrushing tamiya LP and acrylic paints? I've seen 15 psi in multiple comments as the sweet spot but I'm finding more success with slightly higher psi...
Hi again Paul! This is Judy in NS, Canada. I am watching an older video of yours (August 8, 2019) and am wondering if you don't have the Tamiya laquer thinner with the retarder in it...how much retarder should I add to the laquer paint for the airbrush? Thank you!
Paul, could you please restate the formula for paint plus thinner/retarder. Your measurements don't yield a 60% solution. I am a subscriber and know you strive for accuracy. Thanks for your videos...they are a huge asset to my modelling knowledge. Cheers from Virginia!
Erm I would simplify it by saying thin 50% and just add a touch more lol. You dont need to be be perfect with thinning. So 1 part paint to 1.2 parts thinner
Hello Paul. Sorry, but I don't always understand everything because my english level isn't top (I'm french). Dilution rate is 60% thinner-40% paint. Ok. But is it necessary to use retader ? If yes, what will be the rate please ? Thanks for yours videos. Sam.
I am just starting to use an airbrush and after using these paints from Tamiya, I had some trouble cleaning my airbrush. All the paint in the airbrush was hard to remove. To be honest, I didn't use the Tamiya laquer thinner. Will I be able to clean the airbrush better when using the Tamiya thinner? Do you have some tips how to clean the airbrush efficiently?
I'v been using LP paints 1:1 ratio. I have Iwata Revolution CR with 0.5 nozzle. What you think,can I go even thinner? Feels that paint lays down. too rough with 1:1. Do you thing I can go 1 part paint and 2 parts thinner? Chears!
Oh my! That 1.5 to 1 ratio worked great. First time I realize how important thinning ratio is. And go as thin as you could go, and do several layers. Big thanks and salute to you Paul!
Am I right in thinking that these lp paints are the ts range just not in a rattle can ? That finish is stunning love a red shiny car, will be using your clear coat tip Keep up the top work 👍
Lacquers have advantages and I don't doubt these are good. However you didn't mention the issue of odor - that's important to me and I'd guess others. Another reviewer that the Tamiya lacquers are extremely powerful in smell - however, he used hardware store lacquer thinner. How would you grade this stuff with Tamiya lacquer thinner? Is it more pungent than standard Tamiya?
It'll smell worse than standard tamiya paint of course as its lacquer, as for the smell im not really in the habit of smelling them a lot as I have a good spraybooth and respirator
Hi paul great review, havent tried these as yet but they look great, can ask you, can the clear l.p. paint as a final clear coat be sanded back and polished like 2k?
Well.....looks like NEXT TIME I paint a model I'm gonna have to be dressed in a FUCKING HAZMAT SUIT ! I tried my best to do a nice job on my Mustang and I keep getting dust and debris in the paint. I'm about to call it QUITS with building models. This is TRULY disappointing and pissing me off ! . I am gonna let the Tamiya Lacquer set over a day, sand all the specks of dust, fibers out of the paint, re-shoot it again. I had so much high expectations for this kit. This was the kit I wanted to separate from my other built kits and take a step forward. Maybe I'll take a basket weaving.
