gloss top coat, i dont think there is any flat top coat hmm.gif
*
i nvr heard nor experience b4 that gloss topcoat can have frosting hmm.gif
anyway it could be due to cold weather n high humidity, even warming up ur topcoat can is useless

what type of markers do you use for panel lining? Do you prefer water based or oil based markers?
*
both also use
oil based creates darker n more prominant lines, but harder to clean up excess ink than water based
water based create fine lines, good for ppl for hate thick panel lines, but tends to fade over time if no topcoat applied

IINM, the water based Gundam marker only comes in set with other colours in a box, not sold separately
so its kinda hard to get

anyone here have using Gundam Paint Markers???...what different with other normal markers???...the price of Gundam markers so expensive...have any special???...thx...

the colour choices different lor
normal red, blue, gree, yellow markers, wont be similar to Gundam Red, Gundam Blue, Gundam Yellow, etc  tongue.gif
of cos got Metallic Colours oso where normal markers dont have

IINM, normal markers cant squeeze out the ink like Gundam Markers when u wanna touch up small area using brush

hmmm..... i think many people, mebbe they r outta school for too long or something, think this hobby thinner thingy too complicated.

Bro, whether to thin or not to thin, imagine this: remember water color or poster color in school? When u open up one bottle buncho poster color, do u mix water with it? if the poster color in the bottle is still watery, u dont mix with water. If the poster color has become dry or too thick for yourbrush to paint on paper, then u thin it with water.

Yes, it might sound like i m using a very stupid example, but yes, hobby paint  (including clear) applys to this theory too.
Again, thin enough, no need add thinner. Not thin enough, add thinner.
*
thx for the example, i can understand
though it doesnt reli apply for me, cos all the water colour ive used r tube squeeze types, definitely must add water laugh.gif

hey guys, a question, i used basic nippon pylox spray cans to spray my gundams and everything turns out great except for the white gloss paint.

i realized the the edges of the part is still primer greyish. any idea how to prevent this?
*
i had the same problem(using same brand too)
i only know to solve it by spraying more layers, but that is wasting paint sweat.gif

guess the other way to solve it is to use expensive hobby white primers sad.gif

definitely gravity-fed if you mean the cup is on top...
most of us use that...

i see hmm.gif
as for the AB hole size, smaller hole gives smaller spray radius right?
and i understand the double action & o-ring thingy rclxub.gif
