well, seeing as how you can mix Gaia and Mr Hobby paints together, their thinners should be the same as well. Gaia paint = WIN btw

if you get it from tkting, gaia 500ml is 38.40 cheaper lo..

no need shipping wan la.. just go to his house lo. then he will poison you.. before you know it, you'll walk away with all sorts of stuff.. hahah

Oh goodie. My wallet much appreciates this.

wow..effect look really nice...make me wan to buy Anchor spray now ..>.<

of course is spray paint...
y? because spray paints can achieve smooth layer of paint
hand paint can but not as smooth as spray cans and you'll need a lot of experience but hand paint also comes in handy for tiny detail parts.
<-- better
hand paint <-- Spray cans <-- Air Brush

lol...
when i started, i also started from hand paint --> spray cans --> AB..
i bet it won't be long you'll go to AB. IF you tried it once i bet you would want it again. spray can is one of the best methods to paint your kit for starting cost.

actually, a whole compressor set is not too exp ma.. compressor is 300, hand piece can get for 80++ not too bad at all.. get more control.. get to mix custom paints.. i for one, have never bought a grey color yet.. just mix black and white.. long term savings.. 

thinner mahal. electricity nope.

can use to paint wan.. just after that melted only mah..   

I have not tried Mr hobby paint remover, heard it s*cks; no concrete evidence on that though.

However, go HLJ search for this key words "Paint buster". Really good! Though for such a small bottle, it looks really expensive with its price tag; i still think it's worth checking out. Lemme try my best to explain a little:

Usually when we clean up paint , we use thinner. The problem of thinner is it dries fast. We gotta make sure all the paint's off the plastic before the thinner vaporize. cause if the thinner is gone, the paint is no longer "melted" and cannot be clean. So we repeat the process of adding thinner- melt the paint-quickily wipe of the unwanted paint; on n on n on again. Hence wasted lots of thinner.

This paint buster thing, once you apply onto painted surface, the paint melts, and u can clean it. In case when it dries and u haven't remove all the unwanted paint, no worry. This thing has some kind of oil element in it. even after dried, unlike using thinner, the paint is not grabbing onto the plastic surface again. So u can slowly apply the chemical all over the plastic kit; even thought some parts r already, in the end, u can just use tap water to wash everything off.
Of course, if u want to strip the paint for the entire kit, the cheapest way for stripping lacquer paint is still brake fluid. soak it in the fluid/oil, and the paint actually peel off by itself

How much it cost for the paint remover

about black and white color for GUNDAM , usually what color name is use?

they're not exactly ink pens per-se.. they're more like..multi surface markers.
