hello, a newbie here...

i'm about to paint my exia using anchor spray can, this is first time i paint my gundam so asking questions is necessary hehe

how to tell if i've paint it too thick? how many layer do u guys always spray?

Guys dose any one know what is the use for Mr Surface? If I have a model can I just spray mr base white on it with out going with mr surface?

Dose anyone heard of mr color spray red no.03? Is there any spray can have the same color with it?

when there is dripping / bulging on the paint. When the reflection of the light on the paint is uneven, it usually tell the paint is too thick. Two to three pass of thin coat paint will do.


Mr. Surface = primer. Do primer before painting whatever color you want to apply.

Guys, can I know where to find this spray can?


Thanks~

primer = the base paint?

It depends on your definition of base paint. If your definition of "base" is the first coating of paint you apply before
applying anything then that is base paint.
There is also based paint define as the paint color to help define the opacity of the second coat of paint your going to use. For example, your applying yellow and you want it to be brighter yellow, apply white based paint otherwise it will turn dull if your first coating of paint is dark.

To cut the story short, and not to confused you anymore , look for the label "primer" on the paint...

seniors.. usually after painting, we apply top coat for each pieces separately or assemble the kit first n then top coat the whole figure?

separately because some parts may not cover with coat

is 3 layers of top coat enough for the moving parts such as elbow joint? because the painted surface that rub together will damaged the paint... rite?

You don't have to exactly apply top coat for every part... if you want, you can also...
It's easier if you apple leg part, arm part, etc...

top coat Maximum 2 layers is enough. Even you have multiple layers of topcoat, once you move the parts carelessly, you will still scratch them..
Usually 1 layer of top coat is enough unless you want it Flatter(if you're doing Flat/Matte)

yes top coat will protect the paint, but still, scratches on top coat is visible (though is easier to fixed that paint scratches). The trick to minimize this is to lightly sand down those parts that r tightly contact with each other. just a hairline gap is sufficient between these parts r sufficient ady.

thanks bro noysan, nazrul90, z3ro717 n rayloke for ur guidance. but too bad some of the lesson i have to learn it the hard way
by the way this is my exia hehe

anyone can share hand painted kit here?

what did u paint them with?

a mix of mr color and also no brand acrylic paints. white and metallic colors are done with mr color. the rest are acrylic

wow, mr color as in thinner based ones or water based ones?

that's some pretty steady hands u got there.
