Is there any way to make Tamiya clear red, blue, and green (the usual nav light colors) a little lighter than the raw paint they come in? I tried using more thinner but the colors just pool into globs of paint. Flat base, maybe?
try adding X-22 clear.but place just a little amount of clear color that you will use. works for me [;)]
I would think adding X22 clear would be the ticket. Flat base would only flatten the color and turn it milky.
Adding clear should work fine. Personally I usually use food coloring mixed into Future, but I’ve only used if for small parts such as navigation lights. I’ve got several of the clear Tamiya paints but haven’t had a lot of luck with them.
Thanks, everyone! I’ll try it out!
