LOL ya wor COMBO mistake

FUYO VIRUS ATTACK !!!!!!!!!! DOUBLE COMBO MISTAKE

noob4life - well u try use apply over decals it work perfectly for me ^.^ but to avoid from peeling off u need to top coat it then don't move so much at the decal area

zheyuen - well for hand painting in my experience laquer more easyer to control and better flat finishing then acrylic. ^.^

hand paint bb gundam mostly use lacquers paints more easyer to control then acrylic paint but then again dependes on the people skill ^.^

well for that problem u need to control your painting skill which for my experince the 1st layer paint dissolve due to too much tinner or bad mix tinner retarted ratio or hand brush stroke on the same area too many time. So to my best solution are after primer it and painted 1st layer (Mix tinner retarder = ratio 1:3) then when come painting 2 layer u need to control your tinner paint (just put ratio 1:1 only) . For me after painting 1st layer gentlely then i leave it for 10 min for it to dry then paint 2 layer gentlely again then 3th layer time will cover all the surface without having the bottom layer dissolve.

Most important thing is do not brush paint same area more than 5 stroke (must leave it dry for 10 min then only continue) that will surely avoid this problem .

Hope that will help you

i think vince need to stick this tactics for handpainting guide for someone use lacquer paint by dry brush. tested works great for me.

well u can put as many layer as u like to cover the parts n as long it u don't brush stroke it for 5 time at same place. as for uneven surface u can sand it also but make sure remember u clear the dust b4 paint.

for acrlic paint maybe ok but a bit thick but for lacquer painter need to use sand it 1st if not it can see the uneven surface very clearly due to the lacquer are fine and smooth paint unlike thick acrlic

well kl got bootleg kit somewhere over the rain bow >,< just need to know where to find the golden pot >,<

or u can do it like me ^,^ which is save $$ buy more kits + cool .

lol unless you want blow it out using your mouth other than that you can use fish air pump also but i nvr try b4 >,< they say can work. for best and safe + no hasseling use compressor with air tank.
