- Well I finally got them. Tamiya's lacquer paints. While they're not for sale here in the US I found a source in the UK that ships super fast, last than 5 days to arrive with full tracking. As far as the paints go, fantastic!! They airbrushed great but the true surprise was how well they brushed. Check the video for full results, you'll be shocked as to the brushed on black.

I'm so happy to see these can be used with regular brushes. I bought a red color because it was the closest color I needed, and none of the spray cans or acrylics had a close enough shade. I don't own an airbrush, one day I will but for now I'm without one. Your channel has been a wonderful discovery for me today, thanks!!!
I love tamiya for air brushing, have a couple of their lacquer color gun metal and burnt iron use then on jet exhaust pipes. Realy nice video thank you robert.
You're welcome Bob, thanks for watching
That handbrush WOW
In my area. When I first got into modeling. The hobby shop (which is sadly now closed. RIP mr Charles) Carried the larger tamiya acrylics.
The shop I buy at now just gets the smaller tamiya jars.
Pittsburgh PA area.
I am always very impressed with how good you explain how to paint and what psi to uses how to use the airbrush and how to brush paint and how to thin the paint how to clean the airbrush and how different thinners acted the same ,and one of the best things you do is you put the link were to buy all the thing you use .when I painted cars in the 70s you had to learn how by trial and error or like I did worked for some one for free to learn how ,thank you Sir I am getting started to do this and I can't wait for your new videos I look for them every day and watch them all so thank you sir !
Another perfectly paced, highly organized & extremely informative video! 👍👍 I am really blown away by the finishes the Tamiya lacquer paints provide, including brushed application! 💪💪 FYI, I am mostly into WWII & Korean War modelling, so - if you haven't already - I would absolutely love to see you test & evaluate the AK Interactive lacquer paint sets for WWII AFVs (sprayed & brushed)! 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing what you learn when you browse your old videos with new projects in mind.
I didn't know Tamiya had a pearl clear.
Tamiya's Flat Black to me is the best for soot stains. I'm a model railroader in the stream era, so tunnels, engine houses need soot. Good for chimneys also. Love you do these reviews, cause I need a new line of paint since the Model Master line was discontinued by Rustoleum.
I have always liked the way metallics looked sprayed over brushed. It looks more like metal than paint.

Hello there, welcome to the channel. I call my room the Fortress of Solitude. I wanted to let you know I'm developing a line of paints and they happen to be enamels. Two reasons I choose enamels to be a part of my line up. One is they can be brushed and airbrushed. Two is we have lost the Model Master line so I hope they will fill a void. Even come in similar jars. My partner who's producing them is working on military FS colors as well as many others.
I would be interested your partners military FS line of paints

Racing White - Also known as Wimbledon White when Ford used it on the 1966-1967 Mustangs they raced in TransAm competition.
Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to shooting some soon.👍
I don't know if someone already answered you about the the racing blue and racing white but I'm pretty sure it was for like the 60's Shelby mustang that was white with blue Shelby stripes down the center of the car. I believe that mustang was an off white. If someone already told you all this, don't worry about getting back to me. Lol
Just used some of these and had to have a look on UA-cam, I’m love with these paints already.
Good paints for sure 👍
I absolutely love your videos have been building models since I was like 12 I’m 36 now but I have learned so much from you thank you so much
You're welcome buddy and thanks for the kind words 👍
Thank yoou so much for the cleaning portion of the video. Usually you only get cleaning advice on acrylics.
17:30, "It spits out a little bit" Last time the "little spitout" shot directly in my eye,...
Thank god it was only dilluted alcohol. :)
Lmao
Good news! These paints are available in the US
I love tamiya's LP line. They spray so much nicer than acrylics. I now use lacquers any time I can. I've been ordering mine from Sunward hobbies in Canada. but stock has been low on a lot of what I need now. Racing white is an off white color. Back in the early dys race cars were painted to match their countries. Germany is white or silver, Japan was white with a red circle or sun, France was blue, italiy was red which is where all the red ferraris came from it's a spin from their racing days when the scudaria ferrari ran rosso coursa or "racing red" cars, GB was green hence the color british racing green. The "racing" colors are supposed to match the old racing colors.
I mentioned it in your preview, these have been my go to paints for the past year, fantastic performance and finish.
The semi gloss black is difficult to get over here in the UK too, but oh man is it amazing.
I order all my supplies from UMP they give great service.
Thanks as ever for the great reviews.
Just try thinning lacquers with acetone only. My automotive paint guy swears by it and says the lacquer thinner dulls the finishes
I'll give that a try 👍
I wonder what your preference is between the Mr Hobby and Tamiya lacquers. Showdown?
Great video that shows how easy these are to use.
After about 18 months of trying to airbrush various acrylic paints with mixed results I tried these. They are so easy to use and get great results. Always avoided doing car and aircraft models but using these the results have been amazing. The only downside is that some colours seem to be missing from the range especially some of the cammo colours. Rapid thinners works well too.
Try and get hold of some clear red and put over light or dark gun metal, amazing finish for cars
Awesome video the lacquer tamiya paint is awesome I picked up a few awhile ago and just been messing around with them good to know the mr color thinner works with them too
Love your videos man you are soo awesome and very helpful to the modeling community thank you soo much! 🙏🙂💯
Great video as always. I ordered some from that link. Thanks for showing how u clean airbrush between colors also.
You're welcome buddy and thanks for watching
Is there a Mr. Color equivilent to the LP-19 Gunmetal? I just ordered about a dozen colors of Mr. Color today but wasn't able to find what I thought was a good gunmetal match. May just order the Tamiya one.
There is a Website that sells them and the website is based in the U.S. Same with The Tamiya Lacquer thinner
Hi ! Thank you for the test.
Could you remind me the dilution and the airbrush pressure please ?
Again thank you for your job ❤
Thank you for your videos!! I am new to this and I love your informative info!!! I am looking to start airbrushing and your videos help!!!
Thanks buddy, any questions just ask
@@barbatosrex9473 I do model cars and I want to start airbrushing, what paint and or brand do you recommend?
Thanks!
@@danambrus5298 I recommend enamels first and lacquers second. Many enamels have a high Gloss that looks great and doesn't require a Gloss top coat. Lacquers gonon nice but most require a top Gloss coat. Testors and my own Mecha Empire brand of paints are enamels. I purposely choose car colors for my Mecha line because I also build car kits. For lacquers there's many to choose from. Tamiya, Mr Color, Splash.
Every time I watch one of your videos I spend money. Nice review. I hope you get some sort of kickbacks.
The best lacquer paint.
Having a guess, but my motoring background suggests that 'racing white' could well be a classic and very traditional Japanese car - and particularly racecar - white that's close to ivory. Some of Japan's most iconic racecars schemes are red and ivory.
...in fact, Tamiya has giant bill posters at train stations in Tokyo depicting the Honda RA271 Formula One racecar in this iconic red and ivory scheme as the hero image.
Yay you got aluminum right at the end. Great job!
Aluminium
Tamiya paint has always been one of the best. There is a UA-cam modeler who uses the acrylics without a primer and it works great. Tamiya is that good........................................
Yes, I feel these don't need a primer either. I know a pro model builder who never uses primer. He doesn't believe in them. His models are great too
Yep I never use a primer either and I am an exclusive hairy brush painter!🖌
Just FYI for anyone in the states, my local hobby town just started carrying these!
i always use the same thing you did with the gunmetal without primer hehe. I always use than on the gundam inner frame and it coats perfectly. before I use acrylics on inner frame and they scratch easily. so far i have more success with lacquer than acrylics
"Racing White" is Tamiya's name for the off white color used on Honda Formula 1 cars in the '60s.
Excellent video, by the way. Very informative.
Hey great video been collecting and using these new paints they are the best spray beautifully available in Australia sell about $5 AUD . With conversion against our dollar they may be good valve to ship to the US . Stay safe cheers
That metallic orange is a great match for kyrios from 00
Brush painting Tamiya Lacquer over Tamiya Lacquer based Liquid Surface Primer dissolves the primer even after days of drying. However, air brushing seems to be fine. Not sure if I can trust Tamiya Lacquer on top of Tamiya/Mr. Hobby Surfacer Primer. Thanks for the great tutorial.
A long overdue review, thank you for this!
I'm glad that you tested Tamiya lacquer, I come from the Netherland and I know an online hobby shop that sells those paints never tried it but I wonder how they are, now u finally tested and it looks better than the Tamiya acrylic. For a while now I use lacquer paint because it's stronger. At this moment I use G-paint I hope u gonna test that as well the surface is awesome. Also, G-paints already release their second paints and they recommend u can spray without a primer.
Thank you for testing it out, I was a little afraid too use them.
Now I am convinced to try them out 👍🙏🏻
Great paints, definitely grab some
I'LL TRY TAMIYA'S LACQUER PAINTS!
I ordered my LP line up from ultimate modeling products. There out of stock right now on most of them including the semi-gloss black. Luckily I ordered a few when I ordered mine like 2 months ago.
Thanks for another great video. I just wonder whether you have concerns over lacquer paint fume which is more poisonous then the acrylic paint. I kinda hesitate keep using lacquer even I really like the performance and the choices.
I've been around lacquers and enamels my entire life of 57 years. It was the family business. We had a spray painting company. We painted parts and pieces with giant spray booths and baking ovens. I've never had any type of reaction and I guess I'm used to the fumes. Keep in mind that hobby paints are no where near as "Hot" as actual auto and industrial paints. They are way weaker and watered down versions of the industrial strength paints. Use a respirator and you'll be fine. I can't live without solvent paints. They just perform so much better the acrylics that it's not even close. The strengths outweigh the fumes or smells to me.
Mr. Barbados, here in Canada our postal service is slow all around. Mike
A ton of great information. Thanks for sharing.👍
Thanks
Great video. You have way better luck with your Patriot air brush then I have with mine that's for sure.
If something is painted in a flat XF acrylic color and dry, can I paint over it with a flat LP color??
Will it react in some fashion....? XF paint thinned with X-20A as per usual but the color I want is LP thinned with lacquer thinner as per usual.....Can I lp over xf?
Tamiya primer doesn't stick to Strelets, Zvezda and othe soft plastic minatures. You can peel pro\imer with your fingernail.
My buddy who builds kits on a borderline pro level never uses primer on anything, ever. He doesn't believe in it and thinks it's a waist of time and money. And he says he's never had a problem. He does of course build them and puts them in his cabinet displays and never really touches them again, so there's that
I have almost the entire tamiya lacquer range and they are super easy to spray with when thinned with mr levelling thinner or mr rapid thinner for the metallics. Only problem is with small brushes the lacquer dries between wetting the brush and moving your hand to the model so you have to thin with straight laquer retarder.
Thanks for that.
Can the lp 50(black) be used as a primer or should I put something beneth it
Yes, you can use the LP 50 as a base
Sadly where I live in utah anything tamiya that I want I have to order. Haven't been able to find any local where I'm at
How about a video on how to decant and thin spray cans paint? Rustoleum, Testors, Krylon, cheap brands etc.?
Working on it 👍
Awesome review. I picked up 8 couple years. Ack off eBay. I’ve really liked them, especially the semi gloss black, tire black and gun metal. My 3 favorites. I’m waiting for Andy’s hobby hq. to get them in. Last I heard was June. Keep em comin!👍
That gun metall is the best colour to make nice rims on the cars,no wash needed and has a kind of a shadow effect in/on it. Use them a while,6 months about. And they give good results,the body,s of the cars i do 2 times a light mist coat after priming.Let it dry for 30 minutes,then i cover coat,30 minutes waiting and a wet coat.The result is stunning.
The racing white have a warmer tone. Kinda like ivory white.
Thanks for the info buddy 👍
Really enjoying the video so far, liked and subbed from a fellow model maker in Australia.
also interesting too note, in my tests i found the TS-gloss alloy to be a few shades off from the LP-gloss alloy. Just wanted too add this, not doubting your tests.
Good afternoon, what can of Tamiya LP paint would you recommend as a primer?
Another great helpful video
Oh I see you did find them. I want some!
can you compare this to mr color laquer paints?
These are a direct comparison to Mr Color. I would still pick Mr over these because they have more colors and where I get them they are cheaper
Hello I would like to restore hot wheels matchbox and majorette scale 1/43 etc. Which colors would you recommend me considering that I would like to remain faithful to the original as much as possible, getting the colors by mixing them and on some without stripping and repainting, limiting myself to retouching even with a brush? Which are the ones that you think are closest in terms of color range? Thank you
What's the thinning ratio for the Tamiya lacquer clear coat?
Really informative video. How long do you allow between coats of the Mr Color leveling thinned Tamiya lacquer? Spray can lacquer is dry to the touch after 15 min. Could I do 3 - 4 coats in a day?
Yeah, these lacquers dry really fast like others. 3 to 4 coats a day should be fine. Always do what I do, test everything on a spoon first
@@barbatosrex9473 Thanks again!!
here in england the uk we only can get the 10 ml size tamiya paint
Yup, and it's really annoying.
3.3mm nozzle ??
Where do you get your paints? I live in Massachusetts not to far from rhodeisland but don't find much at hobby lobby
Harry's Hobby Shop in Norton and Spare Time Hobby in Marlboro
how bad was the smell when brush painting?
Any chance you could compare the LP-72 that you did in this video to another LP-72 spoon with a fast acting thinner?
Great video, very informational.
Can I use this in the can form on resin3d miniatures? It's TS4 Lacquer.
Nice vid!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you 👌
I'm thinking about changing over to MrColor because I've been having trouble finding several Tamiya products. I'm still waiting on thinner from Hong Kong as they only had SAL mail available, and nothing available domestic.
Mr Color is a great choice, it's my favorite paint. And yes it's easier to get now than Tamiya for some reason. I have a full Mr line up and it's always been my go to paint.
Racing white is a bit more creamy
What's the ratio of thinner to paint for Tamiya's lacquers? I saw in a comment below they use 1:1, although I know with Mr. Color's paints it's usually a 2:1 ratio.
What are the best brushes to use with this thin paint?
I like red Sable brushes and Tamiya brand brushes are super nice too
¿El limpiador de aerógrafo Tamiya también funciona con lacas?
I just bought some of the Tamiya Levelling Thinner and it doesn't seem to smell as bad as the Mr Hobby one which is good..must get some of the Gloss Aluminium..i bought the Matt one a while back and it's very dull..see if Ultimate Modelling Products can send you a sample of their airbrush which is made for them by Badger for review
Also bought that retarder type laqcuer thinner looking forward to try it.
@@statoilbensin2190 Smells like Tamiya Extra Thin Glue...strange
I wanted to get these but i spray in my living room with airbrush. I have a spray booth and mask but i think the family will be effected
Hi beginner here, I plan to only do hand brushing for now but the color of paint I want to use is only available in spray can. Do you know how I can bottle it like the ones in this video?
You can use a method called decanting. You tape a short straw to the spray can nozzle and put the other end in a tupperware type of container or a jar with a lid. The hole in the lid should be the size of the straw, then seal the straw with tape. Then spray the paint into the container or jar. You can place everything in a large clear bag while you do this for extra protection. Spray enough for you to airbrush or empty the can if you wish. Be sure to store the paint in a well sealed jar. I might do a video on this soon
@@barbatosrex9473 Hey thanks for the help I'll be trying this soon. I'll watch out for your video on this as well.
Late to the party, but the correct pronunciation is MY KAH.
Anyone tried these for firearms? How does paint hold up?
Wonder if Ultimate Modelling Products changed their shipping courier since this video. Ordered a bunch of their products late April and they were shipped a few days later. Here I am almost mid-June and still don’t have them! Tracking indicated they just arrived in Canada a day ago. No telling how much longer it will take.
Ultimate changed ownership this year. That should have something to do with it
@@barbatosrex9473 That’s unfortunate. Heard so many good things about them, particularly their shipping speed to North America.
I'm just getting back into the hobby, I have a question, but has nothing to do with the video. I'm building up my paint supplies, tools, etc. What is the serial number on your micro mark nips? The sell like 4 different kids on their website. Sorry for the of course question.

Are the metallics really that fine compared to Tamiya Acrylics? How they hold up against paints like Alclad or Mr. Hobby Super Metallics 2?
The paint itself is awesome however they don't have colors in the lineup that looks like Alclad or Super Metallic 2
@@barbatosrex9473 I see, you see I have gloss metallic line of Tamiya Acrylics already. I plan to use them for car body kits as the pigments can give them so much character, especially when candy coated. But I'm now interested into simulating real metal, so I'm wondering if metallic Tamiya Lacquer Paints has that finish.
@@marilyngalit531 the Tamiya Lacquers are the Tamiya Spray Cans in jar form. I love their spray cans for car kits. I personally would go with the lacquers
Unfortunately, the larger jars in Tamiya have a smaller set of color choices compared to the 10ml sizes.
Anyone know where to get these? The link is no longer a carrier :(

Hi can you revuew lp46?
I will test it in my next airbrush review video
Now, although you may have already talked about Tamiya's line of enamel, but if not, I say to check them out. Especially with enamel brands like model master getting chopped off, and stuff like humbrols and revells being so rare, it's one of the only the real enamel hobby paint left.
You can't really get them in the states though, however, which really does suck. I've seen a lot of modelers use them, and to be honest, I'm jealous. Though, I dunno if they're worth the hype and use around them.
I hope more enamel hobby brands pop up. It's one if the fundamental types of paint, and it'd be really bad to see is phase out.
Right now our only go to for enamels here in the US is Testors Square jars. At least they're actually decent for the money, only $2 a jar. Have you seen my test of the Revell Enamels? They're now sold in the US and fairly inexpensive too. Check out my test if you haven't already
Does it make a difference if you thin the lacquer paint for brushing as you do with the airbrush?
You can't thin paint as much for brushing as for airbrushing as it will just run off the piece
so i think it should be fine if reverse wash with tamiya enamel right???
Great video as always. Quick question: where do you get the acrylic stand where you keep your glasses, the one right behind the Gundam? Also the acrylic drawers right next to it. Thank you very much.
Here's the glasses stand , they come in a 4 pack amzn.to/3zqNP5a
I got the drawers organizer at the Container store here tinyurl.com/yauvewzy
what primer did you use to prime before the lacquer paints were airbrushed on?
thanks
Mr Surfacer 1000 White
nice video., which ratio thinner : paint do you used? I tried it 1 paint : 2 thinner and 18psi thought a bit to thin
1 to 1 us good
Looking forward to yourexperiemnt with home-made thinner/cleaners, but right now, are Mr Leveling thinner ur goto for Tamiya type paints, and Ultimate AB Thinner your goto for Vallejo type paints?
Would you say this is the best paint to paint plastic fishing lures? Laqure paint i mean?
I prefer lacquers or enamels. But if you seal it all in properly with a good clear the paint of choice shouldn't matter. That said I do like enamels or lacquers over acrylics, they just perform better as far as I'm concerned
@@barbatosrex9473 that is what i am learning. And thank you. Now for me painting plastic fishing lures. What laquare paint would you suggest me getting?

@@fishingwithhoffman7365 I would say any brand of lacquer or hybrid of one is good. What you should do is look for colors you like.
