kozlok Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Your intention is not clear. Maybe post a photo? Generally, you need to sand out blemishes with very fine sandpaper to get good blending. You can decant spray paint into a bottle and use it in an airbrush. One tip is to let it sit for a few days slightly covered for the propellant to all leave the paint. You can give it a little shake in the bottle to see if the propellant is all gone.

Dog1 Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Hello How do i know the propellant is gone ? i must leave the glass bottle lid open 2 days ? i will post image today . Edited September 30, 2021 by Dog1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Typically two to three days slightly covered. If possible, do not touch the bottle after decanting the paint as the heat from your fingers can cause the propellant to release, therefore causing the paint to rise rapidly out of the bottle. It's best to let the propellant gas out over two or three days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dog1 Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) the reason for decanting is to use the same Tamiya yellow color source for the touch up to remove the white spots .Will this give a 100% match ? If instead i use a Mr Color lacquer yellow from a bottle for the touch up will there be a difference ? at the local Tamiya shop they told me the Tamiya spray is the same as lacquer .

Chuck1945 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Tamiya lacquer yellow in a bottle may match the aerosol, but Mr Color is not Tamiya and it would be quite a coincidence if Mr Color yellow was a color match for Tamiya yellow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dog1 Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 will order a tamiya bottle and conduct a test on a styrene sheet and match to damaged surface . thanks tip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
