Mixing Tamiya and MM Acrylics?

Anyone had issues doing this?

Do you mean mixing them together as in pouring one into the other or mixing them as in spraying one over the other? I spray them over each other all the time without any problems but haven’t tried blending them.

Sorry, blending is what I was talking about.

That’s what I was guessing but just wanted to be sure. Sorry, haven’t tried that.

Just did it. And man am I peased with the results!

I’ve always been disappointed in how dark Tamiya OD is, and how light MM Acrylic OD is. So I blended the two in an old MM Acryl OD bottle 1/1 ratio, and I finally got the shade of OD I’ve been looking for! And the paints blended just fine.
Performed the test on some diorama accessories I’ve been painting lately.

Might work. I wouldn’t. Remember YMMV!

Archer out.

cool Quagmyre! Very noticable difference in the OD shades there… and I agree, your shade appears to be more on target to me… the MM looks almost pastel and the Tamiya one is more like the Drab Green they use to paint bombs…
