No, that wont work.
Most of the sprays usually not transparent, so no matter what colour you use for the 1st coat, when it dries and you spray for 2nd coat, all you see will only be the 2nd coat colour, it will cover totally the 1st coat colour..
I dont think there is any way you can achieve what you want by using spray can, so what you can do is to buy that specified colour, or use hand panting n mix the colours. 

anyway to re-thaw paint that went hard like rock?   i got a lot of paint bottle that becomes top part thinner lower part paint color...

Hi guys, need some pointers on epoxy putty. Recently I bought Tamiya Epoxy Smooth Surface (short strips for around RM20) which fulfilled my requirements since it has a long working time. However, I'm still searching for less costly alternatives at the hardware stores but the longest working time that I found was at most an hour and apparently Kneadatite (aka Green Stuff back when it was repackaged and sold by Games Workshop) and Aves isn't sold in Malaysian stores.

The closest thing I found is Gale Force Grey Stuff (RM70) at Comics Mart in Mid Valley Megamall but I would like to find other brands of epoxy putty that is good for sculpting work and with a long working time which may exist out there.

hi

any one have try this??
Kosutte Gin San powder.



the effect is really awesome....but my questions is? 

1) after done the work, if play the or figure touch the powder, does it defect?
2) if top a clear coat, does it affect the chrome?

thx

I did shake it well but will try again to see if this is the issue. The spray can is new, so don't think is the issue.
Did ask around and some say i need to wash the runner to have better surface, spray primer to smooth en the surface and lastly someone mention that i may spray too near.
Will test around again.

Hi everyone! I'm trying out DIY model kits for the first time and currently looking for the paint materials for my models (Tamiya cars).

After reading around the internet I decided to go for acrylic paints.
My first option was Tamiya paints, which I understand can be bought from Tamiya Underground in 1-Utama. But my only free time to go there is during peak hours when it is very congested.

Have asked around a couple of online sellers but none I contacted have Tamiya Paint. One has Vallejo airbrush & lacquer paints, another has Gaia acrylics.

My question is, can Vallejo primer be used with Gaia acrylic paint? Gaia's Surface EVO is so expensive @ RM30 per bottle! Or if anyone knows a shop which sells other acrylic model paints? 

Primer and lacquer are the same thing? I thought lacquer is the clear coat/varnish on top to make it glossy and protect the paint & decals...

What I meant by primer is this:

Thanks for the information! Regarding oil-based surface primers like Tamiya Liquid Surface Primer, if I were to handbrush the primer, would it be necessary to thin it first? Online instructions only mention thinning for airbrushing.

This guy is using Mr Surfacer straight from the bottle?
