guys i wanna ask about coat. I bought mr.hobby semi-gloss coating and once i applied it to the head and it become messy. like a puddle of white solution on it and remains until it dried. i sand the head back but it aint the same anymore. I think I sprayed too much of it.

so, actually how to apply coat? just one tap on the coat? applied it like how i use mr.hobby color spray seems not right (that's what i do)

if u use paint direct from the pot, wont it be too thick? I was told that the best result is to add thinner with paint.
i havent use paint before, only spray so i want to ask, wont the paint stacked at deeper edges? or in the lining for example?

I started using paint n brushes for the first time and the color doesnt seem equally leveled. I'm still new in using brush. I added thinner to the paint to thin it a little but normally on what ratio will I get the best effect? also, if I were to paint it in multiple layers, wont the kit become thick then will cover parts like lining part?
