NOVAModeler Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I am trying to get a clear part tinted dark green and don't know what would work best. Does anyone have an idea? Part of it needs to stay flat black or be painted flat black afterwards but then the tinted area needs to withstand masking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOVAModeler Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Alclad makes a clear green for that purpose. Or Future + food coloring. Or Tamiya Clear Green. Thanks, I thought about that but the green should be less bright and intense. It needs to be more of a hint of dirty green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOVAModeler Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 I like! Thanks. Sorry I'm sleep deprived and can't come up with good ideas Check out the Alclad - it's made to replicate green-tinted armored glass.Also...you can darken Tamiya clear green with Smoke...

steviej Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Use clear varnish and add a drop or two of the required green. This way you can alter not only the colour you want but the opaqueness as well. I usually use humbrol enamels with their gloss varnish and airbrush it onto the clear part. As with anything concerning clear parts, you have to be super clean to avoid dust particles. Hope this helps. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
