Can anyone recommend brand of spray that have good metallic color?
The one that reflect lights rather than have dots of shinny sparks.
Or that is a effect from mixture of spray?

Trying to get a metallic chrome like red and blue color.

Thanks

Little question.
I have a extra finish kit that i have yet to start.
Understand that the nub mark will be visible.
Is there a video guide on how to cut it so it will be less visible?
Or any other preparation to make it less visible?

1) u no shake well,
2) i believe your spray can remain 20% paint.
chrome silver is like that when the can start to run out of thinner (inside).

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.

i actually believe that you're getting that problem because the particles are too big.. were you using industrial spray or hobby spray?

I'm using the anchor spray paint.

for me (for car model kit)
400 > 800 > 1000 > 1200 for kit preparation before undercoat/painting
then after decal and clear coat 400 > 1000 > 1500 > 2000 > polish coarse > fine > finish
other than tamiya sand paper, i oso buy from hardware shops (50cent ~ 2dollar per piece according to paper grades)
*
Hardware shop also go by with the same numbers with tamiya sand paper?
Any recommended brand or all the same?

For black or dark parts that hav a lot detail lining.. do you panel line them with white so that it will be visualable?

Or there is other method?

Guys need some help here.
I got myself a tamiya modeler's side cutter and suddenly i notice that the cutter is not even.
The 2 blades is different by few mm.
So when i cut it i won't be a straight line the 2 blade.
Was told that i need to knock on same place to straighten it up.
But i can't find any video about it in youtube.
Anyone can guide me on how to fix it?
Thank you

Not frequently access to this thread, so sorry if the question is been asked multiple time.

Recently build Darth Vader (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10295168) and find it too dark until the face detail can't really notice.

With lighting still ok but is there any way to make it more visible?
