how bout using Zippo lighter fluid instead? it's weaker than enamel thinner but can remove enamel paints

for Tamiya paints go Tamiya Undergroundz @ 1U
for Mr. Hobby paints go Time Machine @ Times Square(but currently closed due to shop relocation)

or try ICW @ PJ

sure you can, I've even seen people who flat coated on chrome gold finish
the result is about something like brushed metal or stainless steel

new type of Gundam Marker coming soon
it's like Panel Line Accent in marker form
but if I didn't read wrongly, it can corrode acrylic(water based) paint

the silver will shine through, but it's Candy Colour finish, it's like mirror behind coloured glass
real metallic silver will have silver particles in it, hence shinier, will be like metallic paint on cars

Tamiya Undergroundz @ 1U if you are living around Klang Valley
or you can order online from local sellers

I not sure myself, I always just spray until all surface totally covered that's it

most paints can hand paint straight out of the bottle, but adding thinner or retarder do helps making the surface even and the paint won't coagulate easily

it's like dried Buncho watercolour, add water will fix it
but in this case is use hobby thinner la
