Rules for paint: Lacquers are "hottest" (can eat through other layers of paint more easily), acrylics are coolest and enamels are 'in between' the 2.

These paints are described as synthetic lacquers (?) I think intended to serve as a base coat, over which Tamiya acrylic and Tamiya Enamels may be (reportedly) safely applied. They can likely be further thinned (in the event of decanting) by Tamiya Lacquer thinner. From experience: using these out of the can with any accuracy is next to impossible even for covering large surfaces, and even more difficult for small details. Further, the LP Lacquer line of paints from Tamiya seem to be pretty good replacements for them.

Recommend Vallejo gloss black primer for the aluminum shades only, otherwise can be applied directly to plastic at 15-20 psi recommended. Advise 12 hours prior to applying any paint masks over dried paint.
77.712 Steel
77.721 Burnt Iron
77.710 Copper - horrible experience. Clogged 2 airbrushes, a .35mm nozzle the other .5! Possibly old paint and/or not shaken enough, but clogging 2 (!) brushes? Suspect this paint is just hard to shoot and any further need for this colour probably best to look at AK's metal colours.
71.067 Bright Brass - used with some success to hand brush the ammo belts on the B-25. Can't remember if it was 'out of the bottle' or thinned any for this.

Enamel paint, no primer needed, save for the chrome (477) and polished aluminum (481) which recommend a black base. Do not use Stynylrez primer!! That somehow ruins the finish, possibly because it's an acrylic base? All of these paints can be polished to achieve glossy finish. Recommended to spray at 21psi / 1.5kg/cm2. These metals generally spray better than Vallejo and are light years ahead of Tamiya. They also clean up the easiest of the bunch.
