How to Paint a model car body with Testors Extreme Lacquers and 2 tone a body. Repair and Polish

This video I show you how I paint with Testors Extreme Lacquers. I'm not an expert with the paints and have only painted a couple bodies recently as an adult. (Used it often as a youngster 20+yrs ago)
I was asked from a viewer for help so I put together a video to hopefully help them and anyone else that may learn or see something they can use in the video.

Love those colors together! Testors one coat paints are awesome when used properly. For anyone trying them for a first time just remember, they are NOT a "one coat paint"

One tip that I find very helpful when using rattle can spray paint is to put the can in a container of warm water for 10 minutes between spray coat. Enamels and lacquer based paints work best with this technique. The paint flows so smooth on surface of the model! Just remember to use warm, not hot water-you don’t want you spray can exploding!

Wow, no clear coat but it sure shines like it’s been cleared! Thanks for doing this!

Great video. The most helpful one I’ve watched so far as I get started in this hobby again!

Okay, I confess, I'm that guy that is trying to get that paint on NOW. That's part of my issue, but I also think my prep needs to be better also. I'm working on getting better with the Acrylic paints, but I'm sure your techniques can be applied there as well. Thanks for the great tutorial.

This was a great "how-to" video, thank you. I"m about to try my first lacquer paint job on a '70 Ford LTD.

Nice tutorial Adam that root beer brown is a nice color use it before ….thanks for sharing

In addition to my previous comment, I'm grateful for the 2 tone demonstrated. I'm actually going to try my first 2 tone on the 37 Ford pickup

I warm up my spray paint cans too. I warm them up on a gas stove top or the heater. This makes it more adventurous and exciting because you might forget about it and blow up the house or get hit with metal from an exploding can.

Great tutorial Adam, I decant the one coat lacquer and cut it with Mr color leveling thinner, get more builds out of the can, and it really lays down nice with the leveling thinner, 😎👍

That look is fantastic! I think you just solved my orange peel problem. I was getting it on every paint job.

Cool video!! Great color choices, looks fantastic!! I love the Testors Lacquer sprays!

Excellent tutorial. I have only used the Tamiya sprays and had good results. A friend had a 71 Dodge Demon 340 in a metallic brown, so I want to do a model of the demon in that brown color. But Tamiya does not make it. I am convinced now to try the testors. You are correct in the light coat method and waiting in between coats.

Thanks for this vid. I really needed it. I love Tamiya paints but eventually a little more variety in color choice is desired.

Great Video Adam! Thanks for putting this together. I learned I am not warming my cans near long enough and I'm shooting multiple coats to fast. Thanks Again!
