for waterslide decals...i've posted how to do that previously, read that.

for stickers, can't do much there. because basically stickers are pretty thick (compared to dry transfers and waterslide). in fact...the thickness is like this...dry transfer (thin), waterslide (medium), stickers (thick). because of this thickness, most modellers usually dun use the stickers. i know of a "master" that occassionally uses stickers especially those "caution" stickers which are rectangle.

the only way to make stickers less obvious... LOT AND LOTS of topcoat.as each layer of topcoat will slowly build up thickness. multiple topcoats will sooner or later cover up the stickers. once it's covered the sticker (with some spare layers), wet sand the kit. this is to even out the topcoat. reason being...ur sticker area will also have topcoats..so it'll be a micro bulge/lump there. so u need to wet sand down the topcoat to even out the surface. then polish the kit. followed by flat coat to ur preference

Hi All!

I jz bought a MG Strike Freedom, am thinking to repaint the gold inner frame. It doesn't look good at all.
I dont have air brush, in fact, i'm new to gunpla.
I have been researching for the gold spray can that can produce the similar result as the gold plated inner frame of Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode.

Can anyone recommend any?
If you have done the similar, can post pic If possible.

Thanks you very much!

Hi akachester,

I know there are more than 1 kind of gold color in tamiya, may i know which Tamiya Gold (product code maybe) paint that you are using?
do you mind post the pic of your Strike Freedom?

Thanks!

By looking at the photo (though a bit dark) you uploaded, the gold looks not bad to me.

Appreciate your help.

But doesn't look shinny enough. Maybe the camera?

BTW you should have cut some of the connectors before you spray as a whole. Maybe leave only 1 connector with the parts so you save effort on touching up once you cut them out.
