Thanks! The biggest take away for me is how concentrated the small cans are. Now I won’t hesitate to purchase them through Amazon. I’m a big fan of your channel. Thanks again.
Thank you so much! I repair neon beer signs which are dyed. The glass used is white and then dipped in a very expensive liquid to look like more expensive glass. The Tamiya red is almost a perfect match for ruby red and it looks like the Tamiya yellow will match the yellow (look at a Corona sign.) The paint has saved me hundreds of dollars. Thanks for showing the finished product. That was what I was looking for!
What a super helpful video. I've never thought of spraying glass until I started watching your channel and your charming, educational videos. When I crack my glass, I come up with lots of chards and I make sure I get them small like the cracked glass you can buy. I have some really wonderful home-cracked clear glass. I thought of giving it all a day-long tumble to make it less "edgy" but haven't done it. But now I'm thinking of also spraying the glass per your different videos. You've given me so many ideas. After all that, still have not completed my Swatch watch table because I have been chicken to work with resin. I have a bit of a fear about resin and haven't tried it. Thank you for all your ideas. I've completely revamped my work with glass at the moment thanks to your inspiration.
Awesome- I'm working on a scale model which requires some different coloured translucent elements and it was great to see the comparison across different types and colours. Thanks for testing em all so I didn't have to!
If I might make a suggestion, using the lacquer type of Tamiya paint instead of the ones for Polycarbonate would make for a better result as they're made for a high gloss finish on plastics and don't "etch" themselves into the plastic or resin, giving a really nice look! The PC sprays are made specifically for remote control car bodies, which are made of Polycarbonate. I've got a lot of experience with these sorts of paints since I'm a model kit builder, and these are for model kits after all. By the way, the proper pronunciation for Tamiya is 'Ta-mee-ya' and not 'Ta-may-ya', as it's a Japanese brand. ^-^
@@crazyglasslady Yes, there's a line of translucent colours in the lacquer range! There's smoke (which is clear black), clear orange, clear red and clear blue, as well as clear pearl which gives a really nice looking pearl finish to things. There's only those colours sadly, so the Polycarbonate type seems the best bet for the rest you want, however a spray of the gloss clear lacquer will bring back a smooth gloss finish.
Fantastic video. Really covera a lot of products, what works, how muktiple colors look when you're done. I have another art project I want to dive into and this really helps for setting expectations. Thanks!!!
I found this video trying to find the canary yellow from Krylon. It's out of production, so the prices are unreasonable. Glad to find an alternative, thank you!
yes and the thing is krylon is so much harder to work with because you have to do 4-5 very light coats to get what one coat of the tamiya does . and if you spray too much krylon on it bubbles up and leaves a terrible finish. I feel the small tamiya is equivalent to the large krylon because it is so concentrated.
I thought I was the only one who has been searching and scouring because I happen to see a short and somebody was using spray paint and I was like I didn't know they made translucent spray paint for glass where have you been all my life I don't even know what I want to make with you but I know I can make it now. Definitely a new subscriber and I like the video thank you
its good to see the tamiya translucent blue looks better than the krylon. you may be able to find these tamiya paints at rc car hobby shops. i'm going to check a couple this weekend.
Awesome video...The reason they are flat is because the Tamiya is used for RC bodies mostly.....Clear lexan etc...So you would spray that on the inside an wet paint is what you get!!!!!!
Thanks so much! We are all good here. It actually made landfall a couple hours north of us we only had low winds and storms! Yes tamiya is a very nice red!
Thank you so much for your videos, they are the best!! We are in Texas with strong sun like Fl, have you found your fav non yellowing resin? I’ve just been using Art Resin (so expensive)!
Well, I have been using a couple of the reasons that Steve McDonald had tested in his videos and they did not yellow in his videos. Where is the art resin did but these are fast curing resins and the fast curing resin are good on glass and in molds but you can’t use them on canvases because they cause fish eyes I truly don’t believe there are any residents that can go out in the heat or in the sun, especially in Florida but I figure the resins that did well in the sun would probably be less likely to yellow in the house also.
Have you tried Pebeo Vitrail Stained Glass Effect Glass Paint (45-Milliliter Bottle). I have bought two colors and like the color and the translucent look. Not sure how it will work with the resin though, so wondered if you had used it. The first attempt, I actually painted the color on with a brush. Then I put the glass in a plastic cup and poured a few drops and then shook the color on the glass. I liked the variation in the color. Then I put it on waxed paper to dry, had to turn it a few times. It looked good. Now just wondering if it works over time with the resin. Thanks.
No, I have never heard of it. Where do you get it from? If you do use it with resin, would you let us know how it turns out and maybe post a picture on our Facebook page
Very helpful video I actually purchased the crayon raspberry red on Amazon for $25 bucks think I will return it, now that I’ve seen the Tamiya, saw it on Amazon for $11 that included shipping
Im not sure what you are asking. Are you asking if you could use tamiya colored translucent spray paint on a frosted glass light shade. The tamiya spray paint is very concentrated. You may consider using the krylon which comes out lighter depending on what color you are looking for. Well you could see on my video what they look like. You can do it, I would just practice on another piece of glass first like maybe a clear glass bottle. I hope that helps
I have not but if you are using the clear store bought and spray the translucent it would work fine. And if you have colored you can tumble off the color maybe even wipe it off with a chemical and then spray it.
Can you post the product number for the purple tamiya paint? I really want that one and want to be sure and get the correct type of paint. Thank you so much for the video.
Is it on glass or canvas? If on canvas you can just paint white on the canvas and put clear glass over the area or if it is on glass you could probably use the artist loft iridescent medium lightly. I have used it in several of my snowmen videos but I think if you just use a very light coat it would give you the effect you are looking for.
Why use spray paint and not the gallery glass paint? It was specifically made to look like stained glass.. Gallery glass is much cheaper than spray paint, plus hobby lobby always has sales. u can also mix colors with gallery glass... they have a new paint murano glass paint, but i haven't used that that yet
when you use larger pieces of glass for flower petals and other things the finish is flawless with this spray paint. gallery glass is not made for glass like this it is made to pour on a flat piece of glass to imatate stained glass. Try it and you will see the difference. Also the murano paint I bought and sent back it does not work like this spray paint. I use what looks best. I do not receive compensation for talking about this spray paint but after doing hundreds of projects this is what i have found to look the best and so easy to use.
Oh wow! thats Amazon. Go on Hobbylinc they have them on sale for $5.80 but you have to pay shipping it would be worth it if you are buying several. You can also just google it and it will show you all your options. That's how I found it. Good luck.
Well I have a piece I painted 9 months ago for this video and I am scratching it as hard as I can with my fingernail and the paint is not scratching but when i do it with a sharp point of a scissors it scratched off. Hopefully no one will take a scissors to it. LOL
@@crazyglasslady thank you so much for your kind reply and fantastic information , I'm planning to yellow tint my off-road headlights on my motorcycle , ill update you with the results, i appropriate your work, keep it up
Hobby Lobby had Krylon Sea Glass not stained glass paint in Aqua for $8.99, but was out of the other colors. Not sure what the difference is. Also be careful and make sure you order the Tamiya "translucent" spray paint. Amazon charges shipping for it & I am a prime member.
Just checked again to make sure I wasn't dreaming it. Lol. Yep, got charged 2.99 on top of the 7.25 but it is still alot cheaper then the other paints.
well of the 12 listed here yes 4 you have to pay for delivery but they are $7.00 and the free delivery ones are $11.00 so i guess its the same LOL They are trying to make $11.00 which ever way they do it. www.amazon.com/s?k=tamiya+translucent+spray+paints&i=arts-crafts&crid=A6W5B6JP7LY5&sprefix=tamiya+translucent+spray+paints%2Carts-crafts%2C110&ref=nb_sb_noss.
You just spray them on in light coats. The Tamiya only takes 1 or 2 coats an d the krylon takes 3-5 coats depending on how dark you want it . It must dry between coats
I do not think they have amber but I did mess around with the Krylon ones at one point and I think I mixed red and yellow to create an amber I know I sent an email to someone with pics that showed it she was trying to create something for her wedding. We may be able to do that with the Tamiya.
@@lindast-arnauld6464 I just tried all of the Tamaya spray paint links, and they all work, and I tried all of the or the one Krylon one, and it worked. Try it again.
You have to go on line. I have never seen any of the translucent spray paints anywhere besides online. You can order it to be picked up in the store then you don't have to pay shipping.
