I had tried earlier to use Swannys method of decanting Krylon gloss black and airbrushing. It didnt work too well for me and every time I tried I got a rough non glossy surface.
I needed to spray some black for the cowl on my Zero Im building here at school. I didnt have any regular enamel MM black paint with me but did have the tamiya ts14 spray can. I didnt want to spray it directly as I wanted more control and a lighter coat. So I figured why not give it another try. If it came out rough, no big deal as its getting a flat coat after decals anyway. So I decanted it using the straw method like Swanny suggested and after spraying the decanted ts 14 I got a very glossy surface with the control I wanted from my el cheapo airbrush!
Im really pleased with this as I wanted an easy method to get a reliable gloss black surface for Alclad application. I dont know why the Krylon would always go flat on me but the Tamiya is doing excellent, and Alclad states that I can use the ts14 for my basecoat… so Im happy!! Its more readily available than the alclad basecoat and gives the glossy coat Im wanting so this helps a lot!
