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!
dip the sticker in water for 5 sec and use cotton bud to press the sticker

i just bought a 1/14 scale model car kit and wanna do metallic painting. thing is, i had bad experience with peeling paint and shoddy finish.. how ar??
make sure you use priming before painting to make paint stick properly on surface
nazrul90 btw, my senior in gunpla told me to buy some industrial thinner for cleaning purpose since that is less costly compared to use mr. leveling thinner. May i ask, where do you get ur cheap thinner and what thinner to get for cleaning lacquer? Nearby my area only ace hardware, and mr.diy
gundamsp01 err.. I dont sure about that, because there is rubber inside the airbrush so I scare it will eat the rubber if use industrial thinner
try buy the 1000ml hobby thinner only for cleaning airbrush yes, it is pricey but it long lasting too

thx, gloss coat will make the metal shines less? that's what i found out from google search though, so nazrul, u tried metallic paint be4? what advise can you provide to newbie like me
spray silver base before put metallic coat on it and also seal with gloss coat if you like more glossy finish
test on use-throw(is this correct term?) plastic spoon you get on shop once you satisfy with results can use on real gunpla
may i know if not going to paint the joint (ie: the knee joint, elbow joint), how to make it look metallic? (as i planning to prime->lacquer metallic paint the inner frame, would it be fine if i paint the PS parts (the material which the inner frame is made of)?)
most inner frame made from ABS plastic,which is weaker against lacquer paint you can paint on it but need to be careful when painting especially on fragile part, maybe a thin layer on it instead of usual layer
want safe use Enamel paint which not harmful for plastic
