When it was done and all had dried, i compared it to a bunch of models that I painted by hand with Mechrite Red and the colors were clearly different. The models painted from the gun had a much more pink hue to them while the ones painted by hand were clearly more red.

Has this happened to anyone or can this be explained? I really wanted them to come out the same color as the hand painted ones. Any easy solutions anyone can think of?

that should help give it a more solid colour.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/963481.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/963481.page GMT Citadel Spray gun question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/963489.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/963489.page GMT Citadel Spray gun question Sometimes it can be overdone causing the paint to thin so much it wont give a good coverage.

Also, once its a bit thicker you can get it working alot better.

I use the spray gun quite often watered down heavily to apply my own washes to models and save time.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/963504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/963504.page GMT Citadel Spray gun question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/963522.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/963522.page GMT Citadel Spray gun question Ive found that certain colours (bright yellows as the worsed) tend to act more like a wash than anything else, even when undiluted.

Ill dig out my spray gun and a few models and do a test for you when i get home, see if i can find the problem with it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/963527.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/963527.page GMT Citadel Spray gun question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/965393.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/965393.page GMT Citadel Spray gun question

Dilluting the Mechrite Red in the spray gun will get you a pinkish color. If memeory serves me right, when you paint by havd, you are not adding as much water as you do when you use the spray gun.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/965966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255903/965966.page GMT Citadel Spray gun question
