i see, then i thin the primer/surfacer with water or thinner?

thinner.. I never tried water so i don't know if can.

hi all, im new to painting with airbush, can share how you transfer paint to cup ?
My way:-
1- direct from paint bottle to airbrsh cup.. Not efficient since too much paint melt at side of the bottle, what a waste.
2- using plastic dropper, also i feel like wasting since there are many left over on the dropper wall..

just keep doing the transfer from bottle to cup, you'll eventually get the hang of it.

I do understand you are starting this new hobby and you are curious about all of it so was i when i began.

yes, thank you for the link, it got many useful information in it.

Hi,

I do search about the Mr masking sol neo, but ppl complaint it ruin the paint when u try to take it out. sO need to coat a clear gloss coat bfore apply the masking sol neo. bside this, got any other way like wash the masking sol neo with water, so only the masking sol neo dropoff instead of paint?? Acrylic & laque paint included.

planing to get mR masking sol neo as i tired of masking tape.

Thank.

OK. i try to use Glue as masking, as it is water based. can wash by water. LOL

a few dummy question,

1. if i am using gaia notes paint(lacquer), then can i prime with gaia notes or mr. color's primer? Because lacquer is very bad on ABS right? then if the primer is lacquer based then will it harm the ABS too? or primer is special one?

2. I know the reason for painting gloss black before painting the metallic colour, but why need to paint a darker tone before painting the main coat? wont lighter colour harder to stick at darker colour?

3. and do you know that any other hobby shop around sabah kota kinabalu that sells tools & paints? I only know that there is one at star city but they sell limited paint(tamiya, gunze & gaia only)

thx

The old masking sol sux but the new one is just nice. I've never heard of the masking sol ruining the paint unless the person did some wrong steps.
After using the masking sol and paint your kit, try not to leave it for one day, it may harden therefore ruining the paint(maybe). I have never apply clear coat(gloss) just for masking sol. Even other modellers that i know do not have this problem.
masking tape once it dries, use tweezer or tooth pick to slowly peel it out.


1. Gaia and Mr color are lacquer base. Both can be mix. Both primers can be used. Lacquer does not harm ABS, as far as i know enamel does. Enamel will weaken it and make it brittle. Primer does not harm any parts of your kit.

2. i think this is for shading. Usually shading 1st layer is dark tone then only lighter tone to achieve the shading effect(AB only). If you use AB, lighter color can be covered over darker color if you spray it properly.

3. Try Agent man in pain(forgot the proper nickname). He is from sarawak or sabah(forgot) OR order online from Tkting

thx

1. If you read the comments, most of them didn't encounter the problem and everyone prime first. the guy who had the problem didn't prime.
2. pre shading cannot be achieve by hand painting but there's another method which is like light "weathering". Let's not get into that first. Master your fundamentals first.
3. In that case, order online. Save your trouble.

i'm refering to sol R, sol Neo is the old formula.. both are the same, one is old formula, one is new.. sol R is a new formula and so much better to use.
