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

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 sweat.gif

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

hi guys! got a question, if i going to paint metallic paint on my kit (inner frame) what kind of topcoat should i be using?

and by referring to this website on method 1, it mentioned that semi-gloss is needed but i only have gloss coat, can that be used as alternative?

if you want gloss finish
use either semi or full gloss

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  laugh.gif
*
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

if paint, can paint joints also? cause the inner frames like damn alot of joints
*
not advisable to paint the joint because sometimes you paint it thick and make it harder to move

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

Sifu, newbie need help. Why does the part break itself after spraying with Mr Color?

I assume the part is ABS plastic,
ABS plastic quite weak to any lacquer based paint so paint with risk

you can try acrylic or enamel based paint, its more safer
