I have made no secret about how much I love the SMS range of paints. As a fellow Australian I find their service just as awesome as the product and the range is just incredible. I got the three new colourshifts when they were released and I have used them already and they came out perfect. Loving the information on the DragonAir, I have been thinking about getting a new Airbrush, might have to grab one from SMS.
I'll definitely be grabbing the 0.2mm SMS airbrush soon after seeing this review. Already starting to build up my SMS paints collection and looking forward to trying out some of the colour shift paints in the future. I've got a Tamiya Jaguar XJ220 that is crying out for that Wormhole colour.
Yet another great video! I really like the color shifts and the chrome. I'm a acrylic guy ONLY because I live in an apartment without a suitable vent. So solvent based paints haven't been an option for me. But I'm in the process of building a portable paint booth with a super efficient air filtration system. Keep warm my man, (it was a brisk 72 degrees here today). 😊
Another great vid Robert. I've been a fan of SMS paints for a couple of years now and the range just keeps getting better. The AB looks very nice but I think I have enough of them now tro suit my needs. Looking forward to you review of the Zurc paints I asked you about a few months ago as they are also very good imo.
That Hyperchrome dark over the red really( ! ) looks like red-hot metal, just out of the forge. The creative wheels are turning as to where to use that effect. Thanks for this video.
Love those color shift and crystal/pearl paints. Unfortunately nowadays USAGS isn’t stocking all the special pearls and crystal colors, they have a couple of them still left. Maybe they discontinued them? If they did, that’s so annoying…! Such a great looking paint line, glad it’s got a good price point and since it’s a lacquer it seems to really go on well without too much effort. Looking forward to using these 👀
Been talking to the owner of sms paints as I wanted to do a candy chrome paint job and he said that chrome paints need a water based clear over the chrome as a clear coat like a spray can have solvents which dull off the chrome finish so something like aqua gloss from alclad before candy colour hopefully this helps you guys out with candy paint jobs
You seem to actually know what you are talking about, so refreshing as so much BS on youtube on airbrushing and paint Very few people including me understand paint. I build and spray brass 0 gauge locomotives and an an average airbrusher at best I have always used enamels but havr heard great things about SMS and also outlaw paints which are both Australian and accyrlic lacquer. I use an Iwatr Revolution CR, it has a 0.5 needle, and i am wondering if a 0.3 needle. I really only use an airbrush to sprsy livery coats so forme to buy a brush with all the bells and whistles would be a waste of money. I think both Iwata and Paasche are great qualiy brushes.
First. 1 Million "Thank Yous" for these videos. Just got my SMS Cold and Dark in the mail. @21:31 That color was Absolutely Stunning! I got to duplicate that color. But, Which version of Tamiya Red Spray paint did you use. I checked. OMG! its like so many. Pls help me.

'Barbatos', great review, but I purchased a Good Majority of the "Alclad II" lacquers..... and I have seen and used them before 'Subbing' your channel. But I must ask, what do you think about the "Alclad vs SMS" paints especially the chrome??? That chrome from "SMS" looks .......... SUPERIOR to "Alclad", what do you think? ( I mean that 'Dark Tone Chrome' looked WAY Shiny than "Alclad - Chrome" ...... You can Definitely see yourself w/o blurry image ). As far as your review of the color-shifts, I have been looking at "SMS" and Especially that 'Cosmos' color for a future car build. I hope to hear from you or Others in the comments....Thanks for the posting, You Always do Great reviews!!!
Well like everything, they improve on products as time passes. While Alclad was the king of chrome when they're wasn't many choices, newer and better formulas have come out. This SMS Dark chrome is one of the best out there, beating the Alclad. And also their color shifts are excellent too. SMS is a great company and their paints are also excellent.
@@barbatosrex9473 Thanks, for the reply, I understand that 'SMS Dark Chrome' is Now the "Top Dog", I'll stick with 'Alclad'. I Could give them a try, my "LHS" does have the brand and I am interested in getting a couple of "color shift" paints. You STILL do a great job in reviews and videos!! Keep it Up!!!
Great video as always. I'm looking for a second airbrush, I have a Paasche H that doesn't seem to do craft acrylics so well. Lot of sputter spots and can look runny. Of all your airbrushes that you have experience with, which would you recommend (mostly all car bodies)? I also want to do enamel and lacquer and may even possibly consider adding 2 brushes to my collection. About $100 is what I'm thinking for each brush.
I have some Ok venting when i spray, but man i wish i had some more options in my paint choices in what i have already lol im on a spending freeze per my wife
do you have a chrome application guide? i spray mine over gloss black, but never comes out so shiny and chrome-y. Is it supposed to be a super heavy wet coat?
No, you put the psi 12 to 15. Then go with super light misting coats. It will look like nothing is happening till you get to the 3rd coat. Continue with this method till you get a reflective surface
Thank you for showing these Barbatos, I'm going to be making a shopping list for these paints lol. Can I just ask what you use for the Gloss Black base? IT looks fantastic. Really makes these colour pop so much.
USA Gundam Store in Florida carries our full range (not the new colours yet, but hopefully sometime soon). They have the airbrushes in stock too. Alternatively, Fusion Scale Hobbies and The Gundam Place Store also stock our paints.
SMS looks amazing use them pretty much exclusively. I have started trying another Aussie brand called Outlaw Paints. Owner runs a youtube channel that promotes other Aussies in the hobby
@@charlescraig8994 yeh he makes the colours for the kits. He loves to support the Aussie Businesses including Icky Sticky which is a brand I absolutely love. I remember when outlaw first came out there was a lot of people bagging it as an SMS clone but I disagree they are both good quality
@@BrodieD I havent tried any Outlaw stuff yet, but its on my list of brands to try. I was really surprised with how good the Icky Sticky stuff was as well, its all i use now.
@@charlescraig8994 the paints I've used from outlaw came out really well. I'm keen to try their primer. I'm not a fan of the SMS primer. Everytime I've used it has come out really grainy. I used to use BSI glues but I found that they would always block the nozzle due to the bottle design but I am yet to have an issue with Icky Sticky plus it sticks very well at a reasonable price. I've been meaning to make another order but it keeps slipping my mind
@@BrodieD i use the SMS black primer for GW miniatures and it works a charm, but i have had it come out a slight bit grainy on some larger stuff, never had the issue with the grey or white primer though.
I do like uncut paints too. Goes a lot further plus you can brush it. I have SMS new thicker paints here I've yet to test so be on the look out for that. Only thing is they come in tiny bottles so you probably end up with the same amount of paint
@@barbatosrex9473 Pre-thinned paints are one of the most successful scams in model building. Charge 30-100% more for 50% or less product. If their thicker paints cost the same but can be at the very least doubled in volume it would be a better deal but until then, for me, SMS can keep their stuff.
@@barbatosrex9473 Seems promising. Looking forward to your take on them! You should do some value comparisons against the "basic" ones like Testors, Tamiya, and Mr. Hobby.
It's in the description below the video. These colors are now on the company site. You can also get the rest of their line up in the US at USA Gundam Store

Yes they do. Also USA Gundam Store is the official seller of them in the US
I got that airbrush not long ago too and I love it, handles well and flows paint with ease, love SMS paints as well
I have never had an issue with SMS paints. Quality stuff.
SMS paints are top knotch and Scott (the owner) is just one of the best guys out there in the industry. Great paints, best quality.

its especially noticable on the wormhole, but I think your reflection is actually affecting the color appearance
I might be mistaken but this looks like the best chrome I've ever seen
The green is really nice

Found chrome, and gold chrome spoons at hobby lobby, they might save you some prep for your own tests on camera
The color shifts are amazing 🤩

Gotta get that wormhole color. I want to try it over white, silver, and other metallics and greys.
Love that Dark Chrome. Great video.
Looks to be an aluminum version of a Grex airbrush , bet Grex makes the airbrush for SMS, gotta get one of those ......
That 'Warm Tone' chrome looks like old-fashioned nickel plating to me.
Have you tried stretching the paint using Mr Hobby leveling thinner? Especially their chrome line.
Love your reviews 👍🏼👍🏼👌🏻
good stuff nice AB n paints keep them coming
@ 9:00. Red shirt hell! I could see you need a shave! 😁
Great colors 👍
The only problem I have with sms paint it's Pre thinned .I like to thinn my paints myself
is sms like mrp and which one is your favourite because i've only use sms and not mrp
Looks like a nice one

gold over white would make a nice/different/unique
color for a car/truck. all of them?
this is obviously the line of paint i should be using.
🤦🏻🤣
I would consider that chrome your first face reveal.
what do you use to clean your airbrush after using these lacquers?
It looks like the h&s silverline
Hi buddy, what is that airbrush holder you use? The one with the weight! Where can I get one?
You can get that airbrush holder here

A little off topic but if a paint job does not go well what is the best way to strip the paint without damaging the plastic?
Check out my video here on that topic

For this video I used Tamiya Spray Can Gloss Black TS-14
Great paints. Heavy fumes?
how does the SMS DragonAir compare to something like the GSI creos ps-289?
No comparison, GSI is one of the best airbrushes you can buy hands down.
@@barbatosrex9473 thanks for the help
Hey guys. I hope all of you are doing well.
Is there anywhere to get this in the US? Not looking to pay $25 shipping😅
USA Gundam Store in Florida carries our full range (not the new colours yet, but hopefully sometime soon). They have the airbrushes in stock too.
Alternatively, Fusion Scale Hobbies and The Gundam Place Store also stock our paints.
Best chrome paint in your opinion?
What about that other kaizo waterfall booth?
Would you say this lacquer is more durable than acrylic urethane?
Well I would say urethane but they usually require a clear coat on top of them. Take away the clear coat and these lacquers are better
@@barbatosrex9473 either way I go I'll be using 2k clear.
