how cheap is cheap?

to some Sparmax 0.3D is cheap. >rm200.

did you prime & black gloss it before the metallic? metallic doesn't look as shiny uness the surface is Gloss, black is a plus.

Now Prime+Black Gloss only rm40+ per can. Tamiya, not cheap lo.

Gelgoog, Dom, Acguy, Zgok & their marine relatives.

or those grunts in Ironblood.

or the Golden robot in Turn A.

obviously you haven't seen him lying on his tatami watching TV.

when you are using permanent adhesive you suppose to keep moving the joints for 15 minutes.

i use the Elephant picture glue sold in Mr.DIY, rm0.70 though, they upped the price. last time rm0.50. all glue will leave white residue if you touch or rub it before it dries out.

18psi is enough to spray.
u can get U-STAR R-201 (taiwan) with 30 PSI. also rm 230 saja.

But I tried this and it's clear after drying, elephant even if it's clear after dry, when u try to move area like joints around it will turn into sandy white residue and sometime crack if it's thick

I don't attach the joint and move around before drying anyway, usually file it when its dry then only I attach the joint togethsf

that is cheap lol
no i didnt actually is shine but my potato phone and lighting just cant it right lol if you see with eyes then you will see it, ya that y i looking for air brush
got link?

yes most glue will white if you rub/sand it.

if it's separate joint you don't need to move it. but if it's assembled joints like ball you need to keep moving it.

how bout try Future Floor Care or any clear paint?

sorry i meant >rm300.

if you looking for glossy finish, canned spray are better. AB is for fine spraying they can do nice details & thin coats but for gloss you need thick coats that AB is harder to achieve, unless you go for bigger nozzle. will take forever on 0.3D to do it and the paint option is limited. some paint are thick you need to thin alot to get the paint to pass tru but it will be too thin to achieve wet coat. it looks wet when you spray but when dry up it's pretty thin.

i use Mr.Color it's achievable but Gaia Note paint ended up too thin. maybe Acrlic is easier to mix on Airbrush than Lacquer. everytime the mixture ratio is different unless you always use a brand new bottle of paint.

and i notice when you spray can even on burst spray always move the can progressively from 1 side to the other. the pressure will be lighter and you get more even coat but you end up require x2.5 more paint. less chance of overspray if you spray x5 burst progressively than x2 burst fixed position.

btw JS hobby having closing down sale. up to 50%.

i will use both air brush and spray , if you mean hand brush then no thanks color not even....worst than spray can

coz future project will move to MG a bigger scale so if use spray can i will spend more money than air brush

no, hand brush only for very small parts. hand brush works well with gunmetal but others is a big mess.

anyway those metallic paint will fade over time if you don't apply top coat.

future floor care is a good & cheap gloss coat, just make sure you apply sparringly as they are more watery.

i only use AB for Flat Clear & colors not available in cheap cans. Semi-Gloss/Matte Mr Top Coat not for human use one.

btw anyone know any shop that stocks lots of paints? i think most shops closed down already. most online shops never restock their paints all sold out.

Anyone knows a good shop or online shop in Melbourne Australia that specialises in gundam?

Anyone knows a great Zaku 2.0 with thruster legs?

Wanna consider a MG Jesta?
