hi..yeap another one test color that i have done..same brand as previous one.

TEST #2



Test Subject:

Modo color
Modo Tool Wash, Code D-04(not in the picture),
Modo Thinner, Code D-01-  fast dry thinner
Modo Black Surfacer Code  MK-12 
Modo Pure Black Code M002
Modo Aurora Red MK 15
Modo Aurora Blue MK 16

Purpose of activities


-To achieved color, their capabilities at the same time i'm also learn how mixing method and get to  know it properties 

Method

- Basic paint mixing
- Dry and wet on wet technique when air brushing
**Surfacer>pure black>Aurora Red / Aurora Blue
- Mixing ratio suggested 1:7 (1 part paint, 7 part thinner due to their thick/ability to dilute)

Results/Findings 

- Modo series have a bit thick viscosity compare to others model paint.its a lacquer base paint, smell horrible (hahaha..sorry modo..i have to be honest..its smells like shit, but i have smell  the worst.. A-Star paint). paint is safe on plastic kit, tested on gundam and militarily kit.

- Color properties look similar to Mr Hobby GX series, in fact you might get a similar effect as the M.Hobby GX series when you use on different undercoat ie: black, white,silver or gold..try to play around. but for this test i just use the spoon as it it (white color) and black spoon coated with their pure black paint, viscosity as expected quite thick.

*NOTE* this is what i learn and prefer my basic ratio on mixing paint, however you can play around depends on the paint viscosity/properties.

-Normal Color, flat, clear and gloss- 1:3 ( 1 part paint, 3 part thinner)
- For Metallic including pearl color- 1:6 ( 1 part paint, 6 part thinner)

Conclusion

- If you are looking for different feel/tone color ..you can try this, please view the picture for details.

CAUTION: PLEASE WEAR MASK AND YOUR WORKSTATION MUST BE WELL VENTILATED WHEN AIR BRUSHING ACTIVITIES OCCUR!


I'm still playing around and try to understand the mixture using their product line.i will do review another products if i have some spare pocket money..hahahhaha..Ok mate.. Stay tune and hopes the info will help others.
Thanx

    If it looks too thick, you could use Elcometer to measure paint thickness
