Paint mixing

[delta21 5]

Hello all, thank you for let me in.

I bought a Tamiya FH16 GlobeTrotter, I'm studing instruction, no problem with assembly steps.

But I never do painting job before, I know we need primer paint but I wonder is it ok if I using Tamiya color paint with other brand of primer (not Tamiya) ,

example https://www.mr-hobby.com/en/product2/category_33/241.html

Do we need a gloss coat after paint , or paint is gloss by itseft ?

And , beside that, do I need to cut all part from tree to do painting job ?

if I fail on painting  , can I remove the paint and re-paint , or just cover with new color ?

Anyone have experience, please give me a advice.

Thanks

I have used another brand of primer under Tamiya TS paint before without issue, but best way to check is to actually do a test. Not much help as that involves buying both products.

Sorry, to answer the rest of your questions, I always use clear coat over the top, and yes I like to cut all parts from the trees before painting.

And yes, the good thing about hard bodies is it is all un-doable if you make a mistake and start again, Easy-Off oven cleaner does a great job of stripping it back

Different paint makes can affect each other......but not all the time. (good to test first)

I use Tamiya Primer with Tamiya Paint. It dries to a hard finish.

You can get Tamiya paint to have a glossy finish w/out clear. (last coat heavier w/out over doing it) All wet the same time.

Clear makes things pop. but another whole paint step. I personally don't except once.(with a 3 color paint job and brought the e 3 paints toether, smooths the lines)
