anyone can advice or done it before.. Does it make sense to flat top coat on a painted
metallic finish gundam? I top coat with gloss finish and don't like the effect..

If possible can show some info will be good.. don want to destory and reject after spraying on it.

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

Can anyone advice if my understanding is correct.

I paint silver coat first on a plastic surface than I paint over the silver coat with clear dark blue coat on top of it, I will be able to get a metallic like dark blue finish?

I am thinking of doing a metallic dark blue titan finish for my Hi Nu.

Correct... but if u want your silver more bling-bling then can apply a layer of black before apply silver color...

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 smile.gif

thanks bro.. i don't intend to have it super shiny.. I intend to have a white silver as base..
Can you advice does those clear color paint require any thinner or I just paint them over
without adding any thinner.. sorry noob question.. since the paint seem different from normal
paint texture I used..

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

thanks bro.. I hope I wouldn't mess up the painting.. so far I have used thinner to mix..
however first time using clear color paint.
