Panel line pen can be remove by eraser, if other Gundam marker or tamiya marker then you will need Mr. Paint Remover to remove. And remember, don't ever ever use Gundam Eraser or Paint Remover on plating kit, like titanium finish, extra finish, etc. it will remove the plating as well. I do have the experience that I accidentally use it on Akatuski and I have to repaint it.

Hmmm... Paint remover? If you're talking about the gold marker, the last time I used WD40 pen... Wprks as well. I am not sure about the paint remover whether it will remove your coat of paint as well..

Have try the Tamiya spray cans once, it was nice finish but not worth the cost. It barely last to spray on MG unicorn innerframe.

Tamiya sprays are very nice! But it costs around 20 ringgit for each can. The finish is very decent. One MG, I will probably use about 2 cans... Pretty expensive. Just borrowed an AB from a friend and bought some paints. Hopefully it turns out to be better than the spray cans.

Well, there's a shop in Amcorp mall names RC Smart which sells quite a number of paints. Check out their online store for available colors.

Hi guys,

Hope I can get some answers from this. Preshading VS post shading.

Which one is more effective? Should both be used?

As far i remember, Zippo is not strong enough to thin down artist oil paint. Need to use low odour Turpentine to get similiar effect.
Well you can but the chance paint chipping is quite high unless you using lacquer paints which is the most resistant paint you can get.

Agreed on the paint chipping as i used to paint my models without primer and directly from the spray can. Tendency to chip is very high.
