It ok just don't spray thick coat on it. Here mine with Anchor sprays.

one of the change included in the Sinanju OVA version is the innerframe was changed from ABS to PS. this is due to multiple complaints received when some modeller use lacquer paints on ABS (even though it is indicated in both manual and spray can that lacquer is bad against ABS)

now, most of the MG released used PS as inner frame and as you said, your proto zero already uses PS as their inner frame, feel free to use paints that uses lacquer thinners (as long as stated, that it is plastic safe)

okay im gona do it exactly as you did,
mind giving me the colour you choose and procedure?
havent paint anything before

For procedure you can view this video


As far i remember i use Anchor flat black (armor), silver (inner frame) and Bosny 20k gold (psychoframe) for the banshee.

thx!

did you prime before painting any of them? ( inner frame and armour)

Not for the innerframe since you won't see much of it anyway and add more layer on it will only make it more likely the paint to chip because of parts will be clashing each other especially when posing.

nvm, got the answer myself. rather than waiting for u ppl to reply.

Hi all sifus, got few question to ask regarding perfect grade painting.

1)usually how do you all paint your pg inner frame?isit ok if I skip the seam line removal step and straight go primier and airbrush?
2)for inner frame part do we assemble first then only apply primier or primier first then only assemble the part.

Hope can get some help from you all.thanks

im not a sifu but

1. seam line removal for me, at least on newer kit, is optional. Newer tech from most new model tends to hide the obvious seams. now if there is an obvious seams, then remove it first

if there is not, just go straight primer > paint

2. both methods has it merits. it actually depends on the modeller on how lazy he is or how much details he wants.
for me, i rather paint the trees directly then just do second spray on the inner frame where the nub will be clearly shown since inner frame will most likely be covered.

Now, if you want to show the inner frame details, well, you have to assemble it first then clean all the parts before painting. Another advantage for this is that you can spot the design that you have to be wary off during painting. parts that are tight without paint will be extra tighter when painted so you might want to cover it or sand it so that it will remain the same after painting

loose parts though, is good when painted since it adds additional friction.

Sorry newbie here.

1.What's the difference between gaianotes clear, primary and basic colours?

2. If I'm planning to AB with different shades of red, can I achieve so by using different primer coats underneath? Which means using black and white primer. What if I want different shades of black?

1. From what i can tell Basic color is common color, Clear is clear paint and primary for specialize paint.

2. You sort of can but not sure it will be noticeable or not since i haven't try this before.

1st time I use mr.hobby gloss coat on my gunpla and it came out "ketul-ketul"

Could any1 tell me what did i do wrong?

Didn't soak in hot water and shake before use? Or maybe you were spraying too closely.

how hot is the water? i read cn use the max temperature of your water heater. or maybe i don shake long enuf..as for spraying i keep the parts distance an arm length and the spray can close to my body.

Seems okay

It also depend on humidity condition, don't ever spray during or after rain because the different temperature can cause it as well.

how long do i need to soak it in hot water?
