I meant for the HGCE impluse gundam. EX models are hard to come.
Somethings i want it fast which is why i ordered directly from japan.
The impulse is interesting but not on my must buy list. It's just in my to buy list.

Hello all.

Would like to check with you where is the best place to buy mr.hobby top coat flat spray can?

How many MG can 1 can of spray last?

Plan to spray 2 rg 2 mg and 1 PG. But i am totally new in this. So i dont plan to get an air brush set. Where is the best place i can buy this?

I like the tamiya x11 silver too. Better get a small bottle and use hand brush?
*
I recommend this
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2438253

Depends on how you spray.
If you spray after assemble then it'll last longer.
If you spray part by part then it'll quickly empty.

Hi. Thank you for your recommendation.

Do you mean it is better to get a cheap air brush set offered in the thread?

I saw around rm2xx for an entry level set.
*
No...
He also sells those surfacer spray and paints you are searching for.
Maybe you should discuss here what you are planning to do.
That way we can help recommend better methods and equipments before you do trail and error.

Ah. Sorry.

Let me detail it down.

Im just an amateur part timer for gunpla (started 10 years ago. But just snapbuild. Did not even use decal sticker or panel lining).

Now i would like to try to trim the nub nicely, use decal sticker,  some metalic paint on weapons and pipes ( minimum but to bring out the details),  panel lining, and then seal it in with Flat Top Coat.

Basically doing everything i can, except going the airbrush path( as i have too little backlog kit to justify that).
*
Actually, i meant what model are you doing?
Oh, well... I'm guessing here that you are asking on a general level rather than a specialized level.

If the surface you are painting is large, use spray can.
If the surface is small, either airbrush or hand brush.
If you are doing color tones, use airbrush.
If you are doing small patterns or small touch up, hand brush.

Really depend on the model you are painting and what you want to do.

So tell us what is your current or planned project model.

Ah. Sorry. Let me be specific

Rg zeta rg rx78.
Mg Sazabi ver ka
PG strike.

RG has been assembled. The other 2 still in box.

Plan to use metalic paint on small spot like pipes and weapons or small opening.

Currently using tamiya marker. But planning to buy tamiya bottled paint and brush to hand brush for better effect. Some small opening hard for marker pen to cover nicely.

Place decal sticker.

Spray a top coat to make it look nice/cover nub mark/seemline.
*
No problem there.
You are just doing some small color enhancement, not painting the whole model, right?
The only thing that i think you'll need to look out for is parts that moves overlap others especially on transformable models like zeta.
I think you are already good to go.

799 overpriced dude, i found cheapest 730 but aiming at 700 if there's any
*
Seriously dude. That RM 730 is considered cheaper than at release time back then due to current exchange rate.

Note to all:

POST Japan will be using a new shipping rate for ems starting june 2016. No info if it is cheaper or higher. Possibly higher.

Then keep the funnel decals. Put them on when you are confident. Other parts you can start building.
