so any idea to clean it?
Shall I use thinner to clean it or repaint it?

use thinner to clean it or repaint it means the same thing
if u wan to clean/rip the paint, use HOBBY thinner....

normal thinner cannot used?

that'll melt your gunpla.

which type of Hobby thinner? and how about Tamiya ? they dun have those thinner?

any hobby thinner will do... it will just rip your pocket off.

normal thinner(industrial) can.... if u wan to say bye bye to ur gundam
either mr.hobby or tamiya thinner also can

Huhu I did used normal thinner (industrial) b4, and the result...
Several of my gunpla parts melted, and so do several of the plastic plates and bowls in my sink (because i poured it into the sink).

Hmm but some ppl did tell me that thinner Cap Harimau (?;usually sold in aluminium container) can be used, but have to dilute it first

but there's so many type of thinner I got asked the shop who sell the Tamiya thinner but it comes many types of it ..... (acly and enamel...?)
which one should I buy?

see wat type of paint u wan to use lor, then use the respective type of thinner to dilute it. acrylic paint use acrylic thinner, enamel paint use enamel thinner, lacquer paint use lacquer thinner... dont use different thinner on different type of paint cuz it will not dilute ur paint but spoilt it instead...

what thinner should I buy if I was using Tamiya Spray .....?

dude.. y all the fuss, reading all the questions u posted seems to show that u've been wondering around without having a real objective to meet.

even use spray can it can be as easy as i can understand as below:

clean ur plastic > masking area don't want to be sprayed > mount it to a satay stick > spray with spray can > second coat if paint too thin > done!



if u have to use spray can, make sure the can is shake well and always maintain a good distance so the paint won't clog on the plastic.
experiment wt them wil tell u wat is the distance.
always keep yr can spray sraying in moving motion. don't point and spray, spray and move around ur kit.
never attempt single shot spray to do all the job.
nice job is always thin and multiple spray.
u-tube has thousands of tutorial demo on using can spray.

for spray can, experiement 1st. don't think failure, then strip paint coz stripping paint wil damage ur kit, even to the slightest extend.
for masking, use tamiya masking take. if u feel expensive, then mask those edges with masking tape, the center or bigger part can use normal masking tape. just make sure u don't leave it more than few days. some cheap masking tape has the problem of it's adhesive side melt, problems to clean up.

if u've read, u've tried and say u stil got mistakes, ur last option is to strip the whole thing off with brake oil. go to any departmental store at automobile section u'll find brake oil (usual it's transparent red oil).

I asked my fren he said can use Spirit Oil or Zippo Oil for spray .... is that truth?

i dun get ur question.

anyway, if u not sure, make sure u test it somewhere.

i mean use zippo or spirit oil to rub of the spray paint

don think so will remove effectively.
u'll have a hard time.

dat's y i said, unless it's rili necessary, dun strip paint.
if u have to, use brake oil.

tamiya spray also got 2 type one... read at the bottle there... it will tell which one did you use... then find a suitable thinner for it...
