Noyhauser Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I've been repainting my YF-21 lately, and because of my horribly screwed up job last time which made me strip the whole thing, I've taken it thinning the paint and doing it slowly. I'm using Tamyia Flat blue, thinnned it with isopropynal alcohol, and I painted it with a brush (high quality artist brush). I'me getting the paint job with like a milky hue to it... its noticble enough to actualy change what the hue of the blue is, making almost likea gray like blue at a distance. I've done 4 coats (the paint is very thinned ) but I can't figure out the problem. Anybody else encounter this? Thanks in Advanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007-vf1 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 I would say the problem is that you are thinning the Flat paint too much...may be should mix it with black or use royal blue on the mix... Best way to go is to paint a part you aren't go to see like the inside of 2 pre gluying pieces and see the results before hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noyhauser Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 could I thin the royal blue and not expect to see the dreaded milkiness of death?? (also I only did the tailfins... so I don't have to strip the paint again.) thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
