I seen the tamiya TS-46 light sand spray can today at my LHS that is the first time he had it in his shop.

I was wondering if I could some how spray the TS-46 into a jar and use it through my airbrush because. I like how and airbrush gives it that extra fine layer of paint and not a thick layer like spray cans do.

I sprayed the light sand color from tamiya TS 46 into a jar and baaam it worked. I used a drinking straw from wal-mart and it worked out great put the one end on the round part that sprays paint and put the straw in jar.. An also angle the jar about 45 degree angle ; then raise the angle as the jar becomes full.The only bad thing is you have to wear gloves so you don't get paint all over your hands. So the spray doesn't spray back out of the jar. I got 1 normal paint jar done and might get two.

PS Now I can use other colors only offered in spray cans.
