Q/A & Help Group 9 years, 5 months ago Hey guys, going to get myself the Procon Boy WA 0.2mm airbrush to replace my sotar 2020. Just want to get into enamel paints and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for enamel paints? Iv’e heard good things about the Testors enamel series but was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions.
Thanks in advance guys

is there a reason you want enamel paints in particular? As for brands of enamels I believe Tamiya has some and they’re a really good brand and ofcourse Testors as you’ve mentioned is a good brand as well.
I have a bunch of tamiya and vallejo air acrylic paints but looking toward enamel because of its durability. Btw thanks Steven
ahh I see well if it’s durability you want then I’d also recommend looking at Mr.Color lacquoers they’re quite durable paints as well.
Oh yeah of course – I heard they’re really good paints. And would you recommend a .2mm or a .3mm? I was just wondering because i’ve yet to paint a master grade kit and wasn’t sure if the .2mm will have a large enough spray pattern to have a consistent colour when painted onto large pieces.
well the .2 mm will give you a finer mist which is pretty nice to have however when you start working with Pearl and metallic paints the finer tip is easier to get clogged which can get annoying. as for spray pattern I wouldn’t worry about that too much you can get pretty thick strokes still, actually I’m not even sure if there’s a difference between the spray pattern just that the paint particles will be finer, and the pieces don’t tend to be that big anyways.
Thanks heaps Steven, really appreciate it bro. Looks like i’ll stick with the .2 mm then
