It’s possible. It normally depends on shade of the color itself, plus the coating. If it’s a particularly bright color, a single coat can appear darker then intended. Just give it another coat, and if that doesn’t solve your problem, then it’s an issue the paint. Either you managed to get a bad batch, or the paint you’re using is too translucent.

I had that problem twice in the past. Not with Tamiya spray cans, but an other brand. The paint cans probably got frozen and the pigments starts shifting. At first I thought I didn’t shake them well enough. The last quarter of the can the color was fine. The first three quarter the color that came out was a lighter and duller version of the paint.…[Read more]

cut first and build it and then take it off again..to make things easier gut the male connection 45 degrees to hinder breaking any parts. if you dont wash your runner then prime it first..the paint wont chipped easily…if you read the manual carefully its easy to assemble it back without knowing the parts number

should be around 45-50 GPB

The amount of coats depends on the paints you use and the colour of the plastic. For example, white paint will only need about 2 coats on white plastic but if it were to be painted on blue it may need 3 to stop the blue coming through the white. As a rule of thumb keep applying thin coats until you’ve got a solid colour.

I always spray the parts individually, when spraying on the runners, you’ll be left with gate marks, these can be touched up by using a brush, but will never the less leave indications on where the part was on the runner. Or you have to be willing to sand those area’s down, taking a lot of time, and if not careful sanding of paint on certain…[Read more]
