so apply water decal 1st or apply mr mark setter 1st cuz in some hobby maganize like dengeki hobby, they apply mr mark setter 1st then only apply the water decal de le... how come?

oh then ur method is after apply the decal then apply setter, then wipe the excess setter away softly with cotton bud?

something like what im trying to say btw u are the pro so ur explanation should be more exact to the point

lao the 1st tme i asked bout this chrome gold paint effect no one answer my question at all... out of all sudden everyone is discussing bout it!! great!! now my question got plenty of solving ways

btw i juz asked the hobby shop owner this afternoon after school... he say by using AB u cant produce a smooth surface like factory-chromed parts, but he say it is possible to do it to near 98%-99% same....

1. super chrome silver paint as base(as mirror-like as possible, use 0.2mm AB pen),
2. a layer of clear yellow, use 0.2mm AB pen(bout the ton, can mix with clear orange)
3.**most importantly!! to make it super duper gloss, use a piece of printing white paper and sand(it is rub actually, almost same like using sandpaper to sand ) it till smooth...

**the result should be nearly the same as factory chrome parts ....

MEANWHILE, i also asked my chemistry teacher bout metal plating today, and i got a big smack from him on my back ...

he say... ( edward, how could you metal plated something which the electrons can't even pass through it? ur toy is plastic not metal! don't u know that plastic can't be plated using the normal way? if u say use a layer of carbon for the plastic surface... fine... then what bout the plated material resource? are u going to use your mother's gold ring just to plate your toy? think again or else your SPM chemistry will fail for electrolysis chapter! "SMACK"

here's another question appears in my mind from what he say . how bandai gold plate the parts? what they use? is it really gold plated or just dip it into ink container containing clear yellow paint and let it dry later on ?

swt... u use mr. thinner to clean ur AB?? siao meh, wat a waste... use an ordinary industry thinner to clean ur AB la... wont bring any defect to ur AB pen if ur AB pen is made of metal de... if the tamiya spray work AB pen which the paint cup is made of plastic, i don know lor...

mr leveling thinner is better for AB as i heard from some other forumer.... it gives the paint some time to level before it dry so the surface will be more even...

im using it too... some forumer said that paint that lies on top the white base primer has a better real-colour as the colour of the paint... true or false? i don kno... juz follow ...

btw, does mr. base white bottle has 1200 one? im currently using 1000 ...

some hobby shop which got sell hobby stuff for battlefiled one gt gua...

enamel paint u wan use on AB meh... no right... so use acrylic lor... enamel use for hand paint... gloss semi gloss flat after paint only can see result.... for gunpla i recommend semi gloss cuz looks nicer BUT some gunpla kits are exception from this

u mean scratch build?
