Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
walmart and superstore even have testors
just make sure to read the label to verify it's enamel or acrylic,depending on what you wanna use.

ok so i picked up a thing of tamiya x-12 "gold leaf" and it seems a bit... dull? anyone use this and think the same? i'm hesitant to use it as i feel there may be a brighter/shinier version of gold paint out there...

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
actually it works very well, but if you want a brilliant gold finish you will have to spray it atop a white base.
for gold looking things i tend to go with base coat white, middle coat x12 gold, then seal that with clear yellow.

2 Q's -
1)How long should I let something sprayed with Krylon Plastic Fusion "dry" before reassembling a figure?
2)Where's a good place to buy Tamiya paints?
Thanks

J&J Superstore on Weber has Tamiya and Citadel, including Tin Bitz.
Hobby and Toy Central in Sportsworld has Tamiya. This one has a better selection of metallics (golds, silvers, gunmetals) but J&J has better colored metallics (metallic blue pearl, green, purple, etc).

7 days at least. Personally I find Fusion overrated. I will still chip, if you have not prepped your figure right.
I find Krylon Outdoor spaces to be a better paint then Fusion, but if you really want something super strong, get yourself some Automotive spray paint.
Either way, 70% of your prep dictates how well your paint will hold up to chipping.
Here's a thread I made years ago on my finding on Fusion Vs OSD
