hey guys,

Just a quick question. I just completed my very first PG 00 Raiser. I planned to top coat the entire kit with a FLAT coating.

There are some parts which has the transparent plastic ( eg :- Joints of the leg / arms which has the green transparent plastic ), I was just wondering if anybody knows if I should remove those parts and TOP coat it or leave it on ?

I wonder if the transparent plastic gets blurry after being sprayed by coats?

Any answer will be much appreciated.

I just spray some topcoat on my Kyrios and the transparent orb seems to get blurry. So maybe you can just take it off if it's easy or just use some tape to mask that area

waa.. does that mean need to use primer before applying white color on color surface every time? even gundam marker, hand brush and AB too? i just been lazy and just need to touch up with some white color on a very small portion on the kit... i guess i need to go buy a bottle of tamiya white color and a thinner and some brushes.... try it on the runner and see whether can resolve my problem or not blush.gif ..

Bro, clear is (a kind of resin) used for top coat. when u add flat base, a type of micro particle, into clear, it will make the surface become more uneven after dried. Meaning a rough surface, aka flat. add a bit, gloss will become semi gloss; add more it will become flat.

So since flat is add some micro particle into clear, it means the not 100% transparent micro part will disturb light reflecting to our eyes. In short, yes, for transparent part, flat coat will make it blurr.....

and fyi, if u want your kit to look nice, always, always spray or top coat your kit part by part. the smaller u part them, the better. reduce the risk of frosting to the minimum.

hi guys,

Thank you everyone for their reply. Will be a problem for me to dissamble and topcoat it. I might try using maskin tape on those clear areas before I spray it.

On the other hand ,w ould it be the same for Gundam with gold coating ( Akatsuki ) ? I have yet to top coat the entire gundam , fear it might ruin the golden parts .

Anyone topcoated their akatsuki gundam before ?

Cheers

If you have not painted your Akatsuki before which it came originally then leave it... Top coating it can ruin it..
Unless you have painted the gold yourself

Try first on the left-over sprue which has been gold/chromed.

If the color does not change means ok.
But will turn flat, which may not be up to ur liking.
Always test first before using.

From what I know, paint doesnt stick to chrome easily, your topcoat "may" flakes off easily, especially if handled too often.

hi guys,

Thanks for all your replies.

Reason for coating is I have decal on the Akatsuki Gold Chrome. I read on the forums and it was noted that decal will fall off after sometime if TOP coat is not applied .

Thanks

I think rayloke's answer is not that straightforward.
The anwer will be NO.
Get the spray can type if you don't own an airbrush.
But what's the point of doing a resin kit if you don't own an airbrush. blush.gif
Resin kits aren't cheap and it's really not easy trying to handpaint a resin kit.

You may consider a gloss topcoat if you want a gloss bling bling gold smile.gif

Yeah i agree with erh_teo, i wouldn't advise to brush it on. For an expensive resin kit, it's just very "sayang" to see it being treated that way.....

This is based on assumption that your resin kit is a bigger one, either mecha or japanese anime based character, which both is preferred to be painted with smooth finishing without weathering.

Probably the only type of resin i could imagine proper to be fully hand painted would be those small, miniature figures. Eg, a 1/24 human figure with quite some washing n weathering.......
