RM30 per can is still ok la.. but if normal color, i will consider it expensive lo..

Putty is something you use to cover up holes oe seamlines so that it look seamless...

wat bout surfacer ??

surfacer there only left 1000 n 1200, otherwise, its jz for airspray if u wanted 500~1200.
its RM30 oso, topcoat is RM39 i guess.....or got "90cents".

he wants to know what is surfacer.....

oh...sori haha...i'm blur
erm..i jz known abit of "wat's a surfacer" recently...

apparently its a surface apply as primary coating in order to proceed to colouring as a secondary coating. Surfacer ensure da layer of secondary coating adhere/stick properly so it won't peel off/comes out. Next, apply topcoat to make da coatings last longer...

It's tis rite? i'm stil a beginner, so correct me if i'm wrong

Ahh no wonder some of the parts won't last long when i scratch on the painted parts of my crossbone's weapon...

so which surfacer u suggest that i should get ?? Cos i dun want to ko-ed my SF

erm...i dun reli can giv recommendation since i myself din use Surfacer b4 applying Mr.Color... i jz known bout da use of surfacer recently...

but, da metalic gold on my SF nvr peel off/comes out, mayb bcoz i apply 5 layers of coating in every subsequent 15min... but some gold dust got la haha...

OMG how many of cans of paint u use ??

basically there are a few grade of surfacer.. (correct me if i'm wrong) from gunze/mr color.
500 - blue
1000 - white
1200 - gray
the higher the number, the finer the particles. i use 1000 on mine..
u can also use surfacer 500 as a putty too.. it works great too for small seam lines..
using surfacer/top coat can prevent minor peeling, so it depends on how u abuse the paint kekekeke
i think tis link will help u understand it's uses more clearly..

hmm... when I get back home, I'll take a pic of me tool box so your eyes can budge out in regards to how many cans of paints I've collected over the years

surfacer... me not using airbrush...

i got a can of topcoat (gloss)... me gonna use on my force impulse too... tomorrow im going to buy some spray cans... blue, gray, yellow and one bottle of grey paint for panel lines...

dont wanna use gundam marker as panel-lining tool anymore....

andyxp:
Mr. Surfacer also got spray can
but I don't know which toy shop got sell it

tell me i want spray type

that's the problem lo... i also dunno

wah u really like SF very much to spend tat much money on that kit.....

it's a hobby... the passion ... the interest

I Have Airbrush set.. But i din really make full use it of it. Last time i try airbrushed my rx 78-1 year war MG. Try to do weathering effect. But because i din use any base (mr surfacer etc) So it can easy scratch off by fingers. Now have stop modelling for 2 years. wanna do it again after cny. But i need people to guide me how to use airbrush on Gundam.

wat process to wat process. and what colour to use. i have plenty of question. I notice Glossy paint is stronger than Flat Paint much better. But I love Flat Paint much better. How can i make the flat paint stick stronger?
