Anyone can recommend what Bosny gold to use for Inner frame (Momoko SF). I am planning to get 18KT gold effect from Bosny but they have different gold shade to choose from.

Hi all, I would like to ask how to repair the chrome color or how to wash?

ACE hardware should have it.

It's either called Pledge Future Floor Finish/Floor Care/Floor Shine/Floor Wax but they have the same bottle shape & cap.

or just ask the Ace employees there.

JS Hobby has the most choices & best price.

But please buy from online many people complain their physical shop service not nice.

other places hard to get Mr.Hobby. the Aqueous Flat Clear is super rare in Malaysia. but you can buy the Aqueous Clear & Mix with the Flat gel.

Hmm better next time I show them picture directly, but I search around floor cleaning tool in ACE still can't see it ...

i saw it in Midvalley yesterday, there are many bottles even 1 that has to old label and turned slightly yellowish.

any reason the one painted with just clear coat isn't as shiny as the others painted with semi-transparent paint?

depends what paint & type of panel line you are using.

if you use gundam marker, water type (thicker tip) works better on painted acrylic easier to rub off, oil type marker (thinnest tip) cannot be wiped off and you will clog your marker very fast.

if you using enamel wash (diluted black enamel paint), then you need to use lacquer paint, then a gloss coat to make the surface slippery so you can easily drop the enamel paint it will flow into the seam lines and wait a while let it dry up a bit you can easily wipe off the excess. once fully dried you can spray a top coat of your choice. the gloss coat helps the panel line flow and makes it easier to wipe off the excess.

most people probably have acrylic based paints so enamel wash is not an option. best bet is paint a thicker coat of paint and use a marker (or super fine mechanical pencil if you don't mind grey lines) or a HD 7B or 8B pencil, and be ultra careful when doing the lining, with thicker paint, you can scrap off the panel line excess with a pen knife (carefully & gently). with pencil it's difficult to keep it clean unless you wear a glove and do not touch finished panel line until you top coat them.

a final top coat should always be done after you finished everything.

also if you spray parts by parts, make sure the paint are not too thick if not will affect your fittings.

no idea.
i do go TAOBAO & search for the item & review...but mostly the result of the user r not as shine as the picture shown. the result of the object finished is like the STEP 5 of the photo.



so the thread emphasized that the STEP 6 is very importance-
Last Step – Apply the Wet Layer
Once the powder is sealed, spray with more paint and low PSI (a.k.a. Wet Spray). This wet layer will fix the rough / misty layer and gives great clear chrome reflective surface.

the chrome powder is quite expensive around rmb45 for 3ml.

if u asking for clear gloss finish for chrome ..i think the result already shown in the 1st of the photo.

i have the powder from JS hobby, i'm asking why in the comparison the chrome is less shiny than the others sprayed with semi-clear paint?

and i can get chrome finish using cotton bud and keep rolling, the surface has to be very smooth if not you will see warped look which still looks chrome but less reflection due to the angles on the surface.

the problem comes sealing it. you cannot do wet coats on powder because this will bring the powder to float up. you have to do really mist coat (including the semi-clear paint) to seal the powder, then a normal coat to be safe, and a wet coat to make it glossy, however you still need to polish it, which is the part i don't know how to do it properly, with tamiya compounds, you will still make it less glossy, unless you have one of those car polishing rotating tool, i think hard to get really smooth finishing. a wet coat will ensure certain level of gloss but since it's difficult to get all even layer you still need to polish it.

i have tried the fine compound to test on transparent part, no way you can make it clearer, and if you try on a no-scratch transparent part, you will make the part blurry/more scratches with the compound using microfiber.

thx~ noted bro

Are you serious? Last time I walk around there also can't see it.

I try check again see.
