But wat i tried is using anchor , which is gold color. Maybe i dint sanding just spray upper layer of mr hobby metalic

i havnt tried those metalic or gold yet from industrial spray cans la
but i'm using nippon coz there's a variety of colors which i really like... ltr i'm gonna try aluminum color..

lao.... I spray it everything on the runner. Then when assemble... there's visible seam line... Use sand do sanding a bit then when respray.. Different tone come out... sien..

Looks like I better off to assemble then only apply paint on it...

i told this last time already

only recommended to assemble once you done everything...u think spray on the runner are more easy and save your paint but you are very wrong

you waste more paint and also waste time as you need to do two times job.

and seam line are take care before you sand prime and paint...

lol true true for people who use Spray Can and AB but for hand painting is different abit mine all use to painted 1st at the runner then only touch up while assembling use to handpaint can easy cover up the tone not like AB delicate process. and it save time

u must have flw danny choo's style... tat style very waste time and money...
listen to vinc454's advice.... everybody do that way

My current model kit in work:

I'm using industrial spray can, and no primer. But now i'm running out of paint (well, the paint are used for painting MG SF frame before).
I bought the kit about 2~3 years ago. Still got one more FSS kit (1/100 LED Mirage w/Flame Launcher) to assemble (also bought about 2~3 years ago)

another FSS KIT!
the gold not bad wor... u said u spray ur MG SF b4, now the gold got become dull ?

Huhu, not sure about that. But the spray paint itself was bought not long after I bought the kit (about 2~3 years ago too). But when I spray on the MG SF inner frame, it looks ok, maybe due to the original color of MG SF (normal) is already gold(not shiny, but still have the gold color). My KOG original color is plain yellow.
Most of the part is have 4-layer of paint sprayed, bu dunno why the gold is dull like that

not very sure but i've heard from others b4.. u nid to apply a few layers of something then polish it bla bla... to make it really shining.. like those ppl who build car model kits, same process like them to make the car shiny n polish

car polish.. make it shiny....

btw.. i found out mr. hobby spray is finish quicker than my tamiya color one...

both of this thing is realllly hard to get stock now... baka rules and regulation...

tat's y now time to get industrial spray cans xD

ah aya now 3 choice nia handpaint , AB or industrial spray cans . like me buget people use handpaint the best nice and fast + low cost.

that 1 u need to get trial and error 1 and i did mix retarder. and for your notice if u have AB better use AB lor because more smooth then handpaint but also got limit where handpaint can give twice the detail look than AB

>>Chris: Oh... Tht time cos the parts i wanna paint are really small. But then my work wasn't so good, ended up masking and AB instead. But heck, i've learnt few things by tht, painting and masking.

But masking really is a tedious work la ><

Well it'd be great no to be superb in both AB and hand paint?

BTW guys, i sprayed super clear UV cut, still need top coat or not?

Super Clear UV Cut... did you spray it on non-white surface?
