oh.. icic smile.gif
i didnt know got differences for paint.

So which type of paint you guys normally use?... for painting the gold colour on virture cannon, and the metalic green on exia body and arms?
i never try before, but i did spray Tamiya car 10 years ago  tongue.gif
*
there's Handpainting, Spray cans, gundam markers and AB.....
Handpainting and AB uses the same types like lacquer(oil-base) and acrylic(water-base) types.
Spray cans are mostly for large areas then u use handpainting...
for u situation, since u're new.. i would recommend u go for gundam markers 1st..
there are gold and metalic green markers available but u'll need to find them

This sound really good!!!.. but metalic green will be hard to find for marker type.  sweat.gif

bro.. me no expert lar.. spray silver then clear green?
i never heard b4 clear green.. only clear spray got lar.
will go hardware shop to ask about clean green  drool.gif
Thanks for your advice.

btw.. anyone knows where got sell metalic green handpainting?
and what is AB anyway?  tongue.gif

gold marker is easy to find, for green one i have but i bought 1 set only got the green. wink.gif

Dun listen to Myky44 1st, no offense dude..
wat he is telling u is AB. AB stands for Air Brush which i assume u dun have one..
tat's y all the colors he mentioned are for AB which is not suitable for u.
For markers, i kno Cineleisure 1 of them shops do sell 1 by 1 separately and other places usually sell in 1 set..

Hi, I'd like to ask if anyone knows where can I buy Black Lacquer Spray Paint in KL because I've been to 3 hardware stores and they've all the colors except black.

I have something else to ask which is, I'm not happy with how the gold paint on my MG Strike Freedom (I've already sprayed it with Mat Gold before) and I'd like to spray it with metallic gold instead so is it wise to remove the paint and repaint it? If so, can someone recommend me some good ways to do that? Worse come to worse, I'd have to sell off the model kit and buy a new one......
*
hmm.. u said from hardware stores so tat means u're using industrial spray cans... y not try Nippon Pylox paint? they have black, flat black, etc...

I was looking for those too but none of the stores I went to has black which is a little odd.... x.x
Do you know of any other stores that carries those too?

if u mean nippon pylox.. i only know 2 places arnd my area.. which is Home-Fix@1U and a hardware shop at centrepoint(opposite KBU college).
EDIT: centrepoint usually has all the colors.. go there better.. i went 1u twice looking for black, no stock doh.gif

I see, I'll take a look there when I have the time, thanks. BTW, do you know of a good method I can use to draw red panel lines on a black surface? I'm working on a custom colored gunpla and since most of the parts will be black, I'm using red as the color for panel lines in black areas and I want it to be clear and not be camouflaged by the black background.

hmm.. maybe u could try enamel lining which is suitable for ur situation i think

I was wondering if any of you know how to achieve the effect below? The model is actually done by 99FoxDemon(taken from the work in progress and mecha modelling gallery section)

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


I would like to know how to make the black parts(in this case, the shoulders and the head) shine like that?
*
normal shine would be just a layer of gloss topcoat but this case, it's different...
if u wan to achieve shine until got reflection, those are usually the same step as the car builders...
topcoat gloss, then u need to put compound, something like tat.. i'm not very clear bout the steps but i can tell u it requires lots of process in order to achieve the glossiness
