Tamiya Bruiser paint peeling question

Recommended Posts

when i ever spray no matter what it is and seeing i only ever use rattle cans i spray in the back garden so you really dont have to worrie about anything as your outside (i dont thing any member is daft enough to spray paint in their house and incure the wife/girlfriends raf)

the one thing i do always do is put on gloves and i only do that to save me trying to get paint of my skin.

and i had not herd of them brands either but you dont know until you give something a try 

the specialist paint stuff was used on a episode of wheeler dealers when he painted the a ford popular.

and the other one is not far from where i live and house of kolor is more known in usa but the both do great colours

i could not say if it is compatable with halfords  or to spray over stickers as i have not done that yet.  i would never use halford as the cost is around the same from the other 2 places you should have a paint surplyers buy you . find a crash repair place and ask them who they buy their paint of.

and as i have said before the finish you get from 2k clear is something else 

i know the specialist paint place does post

Only the once and never again (there is still a pinkish outline on my bathroom floor where the mat was)

yep the last time i painted by the kitchen back door some how the wife managed to find over spray over the tumble dryer and the motor way and she still reminds me every time i come to do a shell and then still proceeds to have a moan about the smell of the paint but she seems to forget that she does her nails every couple of days in the living room and the stink of that is a lot worse than paint. i would say that is a great double standard there

Hi Topforcein,

Thanks for the paint recommendation, did you use the Specialist paints plastic primer? Sprayed with airbrush? Since they have several kinds can you let me know what were the colors you used to paint your trucks? Automotive paints?

they do their paint in rattle cans they are called kustom canz they come as a single can or you can buy as "what they call a kit" base coat colour coat and clear coat " i brought the kits from them with the paint i used on my truck they are pearls so a black base is req "witch come in the kit" for pearl finish i used tamiya fine surface primer on my first shell witch ended up cracking so on the merc shel i think i would have used wilco,s white primer.  https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-white-primer-spray-paint-400ml/p/0413848. as i have used a few times and found to have no problems. and the colour was the sparkle pearl purple on the merc truck  this is a link to the caz "kits" https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-white-primer-spray-paint-400ml/p/0413848 this link is for the single can on its own just the colour coat. https://www.specialistpaints.com/collections/kustom-canz-custom-aerosol-cans to veiw the individual items click on the description not the picture and then you can choose the colour from the list on the right side where it says colour next to the size but the grand hauler was painted used a diff supplier and that was house of colour paint i could not tell you what it was as it was mixed specially. this is what it looks like in the sun. is looks dark blue normally but when in the sun the rainbow effect comes out as you.

as you can see on the diff angles.

the pontiac shell below is another from specialist paint  also that one is purple to green/blue

yeah it should be fine just think if you wanted it for the bumper for a smart repair.

what i would say is it is best to ring and speak to them as they will put you in the right direction. you can order and pay over the phone also

the first time i rang them they was really helpful and polite 

but looking at that link the size says 12oz so make sure you say you want it in a rattle can and just explain what you are gonna use it for i did the first time 

also ask them what kinda base colour you will req for the colour finish as i may be a black but they will tell what to use

i think the can size is 400ml  

let me know how you get on with them

Thanks, Will speak to them today and will post. Looking at the automotive paint it seems like it does not require a base coat like the Kustoms cans? Will ask and make sure

I called them on Monday, they said their automotive cans will work with plastic with no issues. They said to rub the plastic with a good reducer? They said Primer would work but was not sure if their primer was suited for models as there might be problems with little details? Also said most of their automotive cans don't require a base coat. But they asked me to get the paint codes from BMW to say for sure. I will get the codes tomorrow and get them to confirm. So far everything has been very satisfactory.
