because of 6% tax?

buy what you want, avoid unnecessary purchase

gunpla is taxable goods anyway even in Japan

Hahaha, I know but unfortunately Gunpla is not my only hobby. ;__;

The minimum amount for tax refund at Yodobashi is ¥10, 801. I should've asked before buying. sad.gif

most of the time our kastam really being random one  sweat.gif

2 parcels, both identical contents, from identical shop, identical description, identical shipping option,
but 1 can pass, another got taxed

this happened to a person I know, his parcel got taxed, mine passed without a hitch

Yeah, it's all luck.

meh, people still thinking buying from Japan is cheaper
I got RG Mk-II Titans for RM60 and HG Age-1 Gransa for RM35 locally

also less hassle to wait since it is only take about 3-5 days to arrive
and buy in bulk wont get custom taxed
*
But for that price, have to wait for promotions right? Normally, can't get that price.

i don't know about chrome but normal spray cans you need to:

1.Shake very well
2.Spray in hot sunny dry days (late morning - early afternoon best).
3.Put in warm bucket of water for 5 minutes
4.Spray at a distance minimum 30cm
5.Short Burst Spray not full throttle.
6.Wait for it to dry (5-10mins) & respray more layers.

Best if you go ACE hardware buy that plastic spray can gun throttle around rm25.

If you looking for cheap Flat finish Mr.DIY Clear #1 with mist spray works pretty well for rm5.90. But if you overspray it becomes uneven glossy.

If you looking for cheap Glossy finish, Future Floor works wonders 1 bottle rm5x.00 can use very long time and can be brushed/cotton ragged.

Anyway Lacquer & Enamel paint are more hazardous than Acrylic, you might wanna buy a 3M respirator & use plastic bag to wrap your hands, i assume you know the satay stick + blutac trick.

BTW SILVER is different from CHROME, SILVER overspray less noticeable than Chrome.

All ACE hardware sells that plastic spray can gun throttle? Is there primer in can form? I don't use airbrush.

I think they do, at the spray can section, but 100% sure Puchong IOI branch sells them.

They sell primers in can form, i see mainly Grey Enamel primer rm3x, there's also a white specific For Plastic primer rm40++, but i think matte white/black can also act as primers, cheaper ones around rm15++. don't think i saw any Lacquer based primer.

For top coat they have Lacquer (mainly for wood & metal), Enamel, Acrylic & also polysomething. Got Gloss/semi-Gloss/Matte/Frost, price range from rm4x to rm6x, but i think for the amount of paint per can it's cheaper than Mr.Hobby super expensive & small cans.

They also sell some paints that claims to have Prime+top coat function where you don't need to prime the surface straight spray.

Okay, will check it out. Thanks.

Are the MG EW versions based on the movie? Because it doesn't look the same. I'm confused.
