afterburner Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 All, I am getting ready to spray the topside of a Tamiya F4D-1. The instructions call for AS-16, which comes in a spray can. I'd prefer to shoot it from my airbrush if possible. I assume I would use the straw method to get it into a jar. My questions are- does it need to be thinned further or is it ready to roll as-is? Also, do I need to adjust my air pressure? I usually shoot Gunze Mr. Color around 18-20 psi, as I tend to thin it heavily and shoot multiple coats. I have spiderwebbed pretty bad in the past and learned my lesson. I have acrylic already mixed up- I have heard that it will lay down over lacquer very well. I ask because I shot Mr. Color White lacquer on the underside of the aircraft. Would that be ok? Thanks for all help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afterburner Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I answered my own question- evidently I had purchased a bottle of Gunze H315. I'll be using that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisTennant Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Decanted paint from a spray can doesn't need any more thinning. Just wait till the bubbles disappear and spray away.

If you want to learn more about decanting, there is a good video demonstration on YouTube by a user named hyperscale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
