another way if you want to panel line with different colour ink(other than gold & silver), you can use Real Touch Markers

Than if want to look smooth and glossy, need to use which type?

So, where can I buy Artline marker? I normally saw their gold marker have big tip, just the black marker have small tip...

searched KLCC kinokuya, BTS/Lowyat side dont have this.

I try Mr hobby, but it really expensive, so i go hardware shop to get 500ml paint remove to remove my GK paint. It work, but the remover r thinner based so it harm your figure (like burning) when u touch it. Must wear glove. Btw it work really fast & no damage for the GK.

For palstic, i use Mr hobby to remove. Havent try paint remover in plastic. Perhap u can let me know after u tried it.

Ok thanks for your info, I will go kinokuniya this weekend.

i said DONT HAVE lol
because i also searching as well. oh well if you saw it then tell me also

Sure, no problem. Hope I have luck to find it there.

tha silver you have looks grainy, i assume you are using industrial spray paints? the particles are a lot bigger, therefore not giving you the smooth finish you want. could also be a problem of spraying too far, therefore it come out grainy. if you want to do a candy color like you showed, use a better silver undercoat with finer particles and you should be fine. practice loads!

that's cos acrylic has quite weak bonding with the plastic surface. surfacer will help adherence better. generally tho, lacquer paint stick pretty well to plastic, even if it is not primed.

you do realize you replied to a 2 year old posting right?

if you wanna strip paint on the cheap, use brake fluid, NOT industrial thinner. not unless you value your plastic kit that is..

it can remove lacquer paint i see
but it doesn't mean Gundam Markers' paint are lacquers, it means the Remover works the same as Paint Remover, removes all paint

even with primer acrylics is still less scratch resistant to lacquer
that's why I still prefer lacquer, but for spraycans, lacquers have limited colour choices

Hello sifus. Want to ask something.
What are your methods for really fine panel lining?
Like, even more fine than your standard Gundam Panel Liner pen (which I'm currently using now). Can't seem to reproduce really thin lines on my models.

I use faber castel G 0.3 pen, it water based. when it dry i use rubber to rub it & it become thin.. I do it in my Macross & jet plane

I uses Real Touch Markers, but if want the finest panel line use the panel wash technique

here's a tutorial video showing the 3 main ways to fill panel lines

yeah, that is one of the biggest problems of acrylics.. think the only reason people still use acrylic is because it is less toxic than lacquer paints due to the fumes. else, lacquer all the way man!

Thanks for the advice, all

hmm, y my candy colour will turn into this colour >
Instead of this? >
Izit i spray too much? y the red colour will become so dark?
both paint are totally from the same brand..

U tooo Near spraying that cause "air liur" + over spraying.

Must shake well bfore spraying, & have a distance about 20-25cm. sambil spray sambil move your can to left & right, right to left.

you over sprayed
you are not suppose to spray 1 shot thick layer, must spray 2 or more thin layers, with allocation of at least 15mins drying time in between layers

brake fluid? i recall the sales thread in LYN, there was one guy who destroyed his PG Wing by trying to strip paint with brake fluid
