Guys,
For the sticker that will easily peel off, can I use Mr. Mark Setter to increase the adhesiveness? If not, any other alternative? Thanks!

Top coat itself will do the trick?

I always have the same problem with you. I try my best to eliminate the nub marks. After sanding I even rub with Tamiya Compound (Coarse and Fine). It will "somehow" reduce the nub marks but not 100%.

Actually among acrylic, enamel and lacquer paint, which are the most suitable for gunpla? Especially when some of the parts are made of ABS.

So enamel are not really recommended in this case?

Ahhh so this is why you suggested acrylic or lacquer. I've tried acrylic to hand paint my SD RX-78-2, but I was thinking if it is nice for airbrush or not. Thanks sifu!

So master Khai62 you usually use lacquer to be the base coat, and use enamel for washing and panel lines?

For MG kit that has inner frame, how to eliminate seamline of outer armor? I found on youtube are mostly HG kit that has no inner frame, and they glue both parts together only sand it, and then paint it. However with inner frame, the armor cannot glue before hand. How to solve this?

Actually I'm trying to eliminate seamlines. Of course MG is able to snap-on without problem, but seamlines are still there, especially outer armor.

Anyone using this?

Will the paint dry up very fast in the bottle? As my progress is very slow, 1 kit take me >1 months to build. So I will only use this accent color not so frequently.

After using, can use Zippo to wash the excess? Since this is enamel. Thanks!

No la, I take slow time to build so that I won't finish up backlog too fast and keep buying. A way to save money.

Nice. If the paint can keep for few months and still watery, this is a good news! Thanks master Khai62

Nah la, my model kits are for SS purpose only. There are many sifus here having much greater jobs.

When doing panel lining, is it OK to use brown panel line color for the colored surface, instead of black? Currently all my models are using gray for white surface, and black for colored surface. In colors like red and yellow, the black panel lining is like a WOW contrast. Replacing black panel lining to brown, to all color surface (including blue, dark blue), would it be better? Any sample to show by sifus?

Haha, thanks for your reply bro. I was thinking to replace all black panel lining into brown actually, to lessen the contrast.

Hi guys,
As the RG grade gundams panel lines are so tiny & swallow, will the priming + paint will make the lines are not visible for panel line wash after painting?

Which primer is recommended? I have no airbrush, spray can type of primer is preferred. I will use spray can for the colors too.

Thanks!

Hi Khai,
What if I spray with extra caution, not to spray too thick. Usually AB don't have such issue?
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe can look into the AB option then.

As mentioned before, lacquer paint will cause the ABS plastic to brittle. In that case, Tamiya Primer Surfacer spray can is lacquer based, then how shall we prime the gunpla ABS part?

OK if acrylic based primer is suggested to get on ABS plastic, however, how shall we overcome the situation stated in the link? Lacquer/enamel is better to keep away to be on top of acrylic.

Next about top coating, currently I am using Mr. Super Clear Flat (which I supposed is Acrylic/solvent type based on Google). As suggested to lay different paint type for base coat/gloss top coat/panel line wash/flat top coat, how should we utilize the 3 different paint type?

Thanks!

Thanks Khai62 for your input. If not mistaken, you are Gaianotes user right? Which primer you usually use?

Thanks for the heads up!
