Hi, I am new to painting and would like to ask advise from all the sifu here.
I am planning to paint my MG inner frame with tamiya TS gun metal spray can. Could I apply Gundam Metallic Marker directly to the painted part for detailing? Or do I need to gloss coat it before doing that? I am planning to gloss coat it as final coat.

Directly apply metal spray then after dry spray gloss coat, although the better way would be spray primer > spray metal paint > gloss coat. Make sure don't over spray until thick layer paint for inner frame.

Ermm, actually I am asking could I

metal spray > marker touch up > gloss coat

OR

metal spray > gloss coat > marker touch up > gloss coat

Oh I see, for this you need to check on paint type if it is lacquer, acrylic or enamel. Lacquer paint will dissolve same type and both acrylic or enamel with sequence of lacquer > enamel > acrylic. In your case maybe you could do,

metal spray (lacquer) > marker touch up (enamel) > gloss coat (acrylic or enamel)

With this when touching out detail with enamel paint the lacquer paint won't dissolve and plus point is you also able to wipe off the enamel paint using enamel thinner without screw up the base lacquer paint.

Oh, thanks a lot. Now you have clear my mind. I dont have enamel thinner but I have gundam marker eraser GM300. Does that works as well? I cant find online what type of thinner it used. Will it wipe off the base paint too?
