QUOTE(calcilis @ Jun 29 2011, 09:53 PM) how to avoid frosting during top coating? QUOTE(Shinra @ February 23 2011, 06:16 PM) Hey, that’s a frosting effect from the topcoat. It happens when the temperature is too cold, so just make sure it’s above 70 degrees Fahrenheit before spraying and you should be fine. Trying to warm up the can a little might be good too (not too much though, it’s explosive!) Hope that helps! You can strip the frosting with lacquer thinner |

QUOTE(daydreaming @ Jul 3 2011, 09:40 PM) i think i need to get black gundam marker instead of the normal permanent black =_= that 1...somehow very hard to clean it. and yeah, i know it's those very dark blue...not exactly black :T so does the tamiya polishing compound helps? can make it looks glossy again ka? i don wan paint / spray ler. trying to avoid....coz it might end up becoming a bigger mess for a beginner like me i suggest get a spray can and higher/lower grid sandpaper.. sand it with 600 grid and later higher grid which 1000 or 1200 grid.. but it will left a rough surface(obvious it is?) take a spray can and spray it about 30 cm from kit(use sweep motion which leaves a smooth and thin surface) if you want glossy effect get a can of clear spray(for example DPI Anchor clear) hope this help you.. all item i mentioned can get in hardware shop dont worry about it.. even i as beginner can do it, why you cannot too?

QUOTE(shauno @ Jul 11 2011, 12:37 AM) what are you using it for? handpaint or AB? there is not answer to this question unfortunately. paints of different age will have different thickness so it really differs from bottle to bottle. you need to use your judgement and estimate the ratio for yourself. for ab,we always say have a consistency of milk. for handpaint, i'd say a little thicker with a touch of retarder. i use handpaint and retarder is optional? coz i dont have retarder |

QUOTE(Parody @ Jul 18 2011, 06:10 PM) Gaia is neither acrylic nor enamel. It's lacquer, i believe. As to how to differentiate them, you could usually tell from the name. It will usually say acrylic, aqueous, or enamel on the bottle. If nothing's stated, it's usually lacquer. I'd advise asking the shop owner where you bought it from for confirmation.
Enamel is the best for hand painting since it dries the slowest. You could still use acrylic/lacquer with some drops of retarder to slow the drying process.
yup, mostly Gaia paint are lacquer based... example how it look: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « since it is lacquer, it have smooth and good surface like spraying with spray paint type... but it have strong smell, so please wear respiration mask while painting  i usually go for lacquer since enamel is too slow to dry(about 10-24hours) acrylic i never try yet so i dont know how the good it is..

well, using Mr. Mark Softer and Mr Mark Setter can help waterslide decal stick properly
there is no need to apply flat coat first
