Does anyone know if Tamiya TS and AS paints have the same basic formulation? ie: can you mix a TS colour and an AS colour together? They're both described as "synthetic lacquer spray paints" and ship as rattlecans only.

I know that the bottled Tamiya X and XF paints are acrylics, and not chemically compatible with the AS paints. Thanks!

I remember an older post about it and I'm almost 100% positive they're compatible

Same stuff, just different color ranges. Just avoid the PS line, they're made for Lexan car bodies and are too hot for styrene. The sprays can be used with the bottle acrylics they just can't be mixed.

Thanks! Yes, I figured the PS stuff had a different formulation.
