Every now and then guys mention "transparent paint". Will Tamiya let some light through? Liquitex?

Tamiya makes several 'clear' paints:
Acrylic X-27 Clear Red
Acrylic X-26 Clear Orange
Acrylic X-25 Clear Green
Acrylic X-24 Clear Yellow
Acrylic X-23 Clear Blue

They let light through, depending on how many coats you apply - more coats, less light.

Not forgetting Tamiya X-19 Smoke.

Com-art also has a line of transparent paints.
