Is the paint peel off itself? May I know how is the ABS plastic look like? I ill like to try it out myself.

i just edit my previous post... said the wrong info
ABS are the Mg gundam's body frame parts.. they can be painted... nid to prime for the paint to stick well
i was referring to those joint parts... my bad my bad... those joints are the ones who really kenot paint.

these kenot be painted no matter wat... it will peel off

spray cans FTW!

other than the red zaku...u got spray anymre...can let me see? XD.

got la but kenot consider... My strike freedom's wing is used wiv pylox becoz my mr.hobby ran out d.
there are another 2 kits i'll be using the pylox... In the progress... so wait for it..

k...XD...u use pylox oni? got paint with other paints?

so z3r0's style now is use

primer --> pylox ---> flat topcoat?

nop.. got use others also.. pylox for big areas... small detail parts, i hand paint using mr.hobby laquer.

no no.. shud be
snap fit(testing) --> sand --> primer --> pylox(spray color) --> hand paint(for small parts or details) --> flat topcoat --> decals --> flat topcoat.
in between some got changes for different kits la..

For those who can't afford a compressor for airbrush, you guys might want to try this

aquarium pump

I'm basically using hiblow40 + 0.3mm sparmax AB with the valve removed. I don't know how much is a linear air pump like the hiblow40. I took mine from my father

if not mistaken, the pump is 400++

oh... btw.. who use spraycan can also buy spraygun for easy control...

oO really? spray gun?? how does it look like.. more info plz

I think he meant this
