errr.. got normal water and abnormal water?  hmm.gif if you use water soluble paint, the can loh..

if wanna clean paint brush, use back the paint's solvent to clean it. if water base, use water, if oil base, use oil.

no, you need to apply lining,sticker and decal first before topcoat
because the rough surface after flat topcoat wont make it stick on kit

frosting can happen on any medium la bro.. gundam, figure, base. wanna prevent frosting? make sure you don't spray on humid days, heat the can up by placing it in hot water first and spray part by part.

thanks for the advice bro.. thumbup.gif

erm...any idea how to determine how hot water needed to heat up and how long it needed to heat up in hot water before spray start?
