dip a very soft cloth into diluted thinner (or directly if you using model kit-specific thinner) then gently wipe the model's surface.

Thank you sir,
the material were build from magnesium,
and the stock coat were too thick,
is it possible to remove the paint by using diluted thinner?

As long as you're using the common model kit paint then YES.

However, please be very patient for the process, NEVER EVER go shortcut by dip the whole component into a bowl of thinner. Some forumer share their painful experience before that entire component "almost" dissolved...

Guys, may I ask some technique regarding spray?

Let's say I wanna achieve a darker tone of same color. (i.e, red and dark red)

For the dark red, can I simply spray a layer of dark grey on it, then spray over the same red to achieve darker red?

Thank you in advance!

disagreed. base color will definitely influence how the top color will turn out. that's why people do pre-shading.  whistling.gif

Vorador, yes it will work. for a better effect, use a white base for the lighter/brighter red, and grey for a darker red.

im not sure what king od spray paint you use, what i said was based on normal spray can cost around rm6-7. why dont u that on a piece of plastic n see the result  biggrin.gif
In my opinion(still based on normal spray can, without any aid of professional tools), your 2nd coat will either thick  enough to fully cover the 1st coat, or thin enough to let the 1st coat appear partially, but not uniformly, it means the 1st coat is visible with different intensity on different area. I dont think there is any way u can ensure the exactly thickness  of the paint when using spray can  hmm.gif

if you want to achieve the same effect as the one pic you've shown, you must mix the color. Layering a dark based and second coat of red will be difficult to achieve since you're using a spray can. Difficult to control the paint flow. If you have an airbrush, this would be a breeze..

yea what Noysan said is correct, expect that result only when you have an air brush  biggrin.gif
you better take the proper steps, its totally unworthy if you spoil the appearance of the parts just becz a bit of laziness  tongue.gif

Thanks for the advice! But air brush expensive and hard to maintain... sad.gif

nvm let me think abt it biggrin.gif Consider I will definitely do post shading, so I guess it doesn't matter? hmm.gif
