Added on November 16, 2012, 11:18 amno i'm not from PJ, i'm from Muar, Johor, but currently studying in Kelantan. Tried google about the top coat but couldn't find the answer i wan. Tried airbrush my kit, was ok but until the panel line part a bit screw up coz when i wanna wash away the excessive one i washed the paint underneath also(Used GX100 to coat the paint before this as suggested by my seller, and i think its a big mistake then)

You said you used gx100 before, then use it.

ya i used GX100, but when i do panel line also washes away the paint underneath. So i guess probably this is not suitable for it>.<. So i'm seeking another alternative...

if your based color is acrylic and you panel line wash is enamel, there should be no problem there. Better check you type of paint for based color and the panel line wash color.

i used Mr color GX series, as i know its solvent based acrylic paint, and i thinned with Mr thinner. While tamiya panel line accent color is enamel. So both are sort of 'oil-based'? Contraindicated?

what did you used to wipe the excess panel line off? enamel thinner/zippo lighter fluid?

i use Mr Thinner, i think its enamel. But Tamiya panel line accent color also enamel right?

so basically you thinned your based color (acrylics) with Mr. thinner, then wipe off the panel line wash which is enamel with Mr. thinner too? if this your procedure?
There are thinner for lacquers/acrylics and there are thinner for enamel..Mr. thinner is for acrylics. When you wipe the panel lines with Mr. thinner too, then your basically wiping off the whole base paint. used enamel thinner or lighter fluid to wipe out the panel line wash.

ya i think thats what i did. So for the Tamiya panel line accent color i should get other type of thinner? So if i change to wash the panel line with other thinner so and underlying base paint and the GX100 clear coat won't be affected? Sorry for all these stupid question

no it wont... go with enamel thinner or lighter fluid for the wash..

ok thx. Now i know where is my mistake ady. Thx a lot and sorry for all the hassle

If base colour is lacquer thinned with Mr.hobby leveling thinner and panel line with gundam marker, what should I use for panel line wash?

I just bought Gaianotes Clear & Flat Base, since the Flat Clear was out of stock
any advice or suggestion on what ratio of Flat Base to Clear to use?

Can someone me what the different between normal thinner with enamel thinner? And what will happen if I color the gundam using normal thinner.

u mean normal hardware stores thinner?
those will dissolve any paints man, even industrial paint, and even melt the plastic
