PAINT TESTORS Enamel (Model Master)

A couple tips and tricks aimed at beginners on using Testors Enamel paint with ease.

This is not a "How To" or "Tutorial", I just want to show the average person how easy Testors is to use.

Sprue sticks for stirring, what a good idea! I've been looking for something for stirring that I dont have to clean every time

thanks man! after 45 years I’m back building models. You’re right, I do try to take my time, no need to finish in one sitting. I was a little frustrating in the painting process. I found a 1963 AirFix German Bomber 1/72 scale model. I primed the whole thing and then began to apply testers enamel, and to my horror, Lol, the paint began to rise and peel off. So I had to remove ALL of the primer. I used thinner. I usually work on it an hour here and there. Now that I removed the primer, I began to apply the testers enamel. I did lighten it up with thinner. After applying the first layer, I noticed that it was not smooth and looked bumpy and sloppy. So I am still experimenting and we’ll see what happens. Thanks for your video.

I love Testor's paint. But once fully dried i notice certain surfaces would leave a light finger prints with touch.

I'm going to use testers silver bottle paint to refresh my front hood letters of my Land Rover. I just subscribed and I watced this video. Will itself level straight out of the bottle? Should I use a small bristle.brush like the one in this video? I know the importance of don't over brush and keep moving.
(I have a bottle of Testers thinner too)
Thank you

Thanks for the video, I like painting miniatures but am on a budget and don't have the money for some other model paint so I've been using Testors.

So when using these enamel paints, you don’t have to prime or thin the paint? You can paint right out of the jar? I painted some parts in acrylic and do not like the way it ended up looking and want to try enamel paints but a little held back because I don’t understand the thinning. I just use brushed btw.

Wow you painted that? Amazing. I have a bunch of these paints, never used them. I'm a fine artist, not model painter, so what else can I do with these paints? Will they stick to most anything? Do you know the difference in enamel paints and oil paints? THANKS!!

It puts the lotion in the basket!, it does what it’s told!!

I'm planning to use Testors enamel to do weathering on metal pieces. I will sand and scratch the metal surface first to give it the best chance of sticking. Everything I tried using before just peels or scratch so easily on metal. Even after using a clear lacquer it doesn't hold as well as I want. Hopefully enamel paint will be much more resistant. As a very last resort I even got some gel nail polish instead of spray lacquer. You need a UV lamp to cure that stuff and it's very hard but that doesn't help if the paint under peel off easily.

I shake my paints by hand. They always are very thick near the bottom of the bottle. After watching this, im guessing, its because im not stirring? The sprue trick is great.

[chouchoue]

Thank you for repeating that it self levels so many times. That's actually what I wanted to be certain of. Can't you remove the enamel from the brush with acetone / nail polish remover?

[zeroa]

Very nice video! I love Enamel paints. I have many humbrols, but now I want to go for testors. ¿What do you think about comparation?. Testors come only in 1/4 Fl. oz? Regards!

Hello, may you have a recommended Enamel paint/type/brand to be using for scale model cars and planes?

[murcanfrenchfry]

Could water be used to thin the paint, I’m new to the hobby and don’t have any thinner. And also any other beginner tips you could give me

[valeriej.s.]

Can you recommend a brand of brushes for fine detail using Testors on enamel metal?

[onecurly]

How do you clean the brushes after use?

[genacat]

I'm kinda new to painting. And I painted a small part on my action figure. Its been 3 days and it hasn't dried. Did I do something wrong? 🤣🤔😔how do I get it to dry or paint correctly

[laggypenguin]

Do you use paint thinner by any chance ? And how do you maintain your brushes. I used the same paint on a certain project and now my brushes are ruined
