this technique

some does this: base paint -> primary colour -> secondary colour -> top coat -> panel line -> top coat -> decals -> topcoat
this is the maximum way

will add on weight? hehehhehehe

i think my current gold paint is acrylic base, so enamel based black paint would be next
enamel black paint have to mix with what to paint brush?

or most of here uses AB to paint the black and the gold?

gaia note is lacquer based and afaik, it can only be used with airbrush

for handbrushing, you can use enamel paints since it really dries and cure slowly or acrylic paints (some acrylic paints though works better with retarder since they are designed to be used with airbrush)

for acrylic though, you need to know what is the thinner or thinning solution is. Alcohol based acrylic cannot be thinned with water and vice versa. for the gundam marker, i think it is alcohol based since it really dries quickly.

so technically the paints i have is wrong? so now i need to go get another set of enamel paints?
mine doesnt cure slowly as per the seller says

i got issues remember which and which solution is suppose to be mixed together and which thinner can wash what away rclxub.gif
