QUOTE(jhcj @ May 27 2008, 10:54 PM) Noob question (lol): when you use gundam markers to paint, how easy is it to remove the wet paint if you've made a mistake? For example, when you use the gundam marker to do panel lining, it is easy to just wipe off the excess with your thumb or a wet cloth. Can the same be done with the paint markers? Ok, i also got 1 Noob question.. What if i painted with the GM10 Black Gundam Marker, then leave it for a period it dried liao, then what should i use to remove the paint ? Can it be done using Gundam Marker Remover?

QUOTE(z3r0717 @ Jul 20 2008, 10:56 PM) UV-cut ver is another different use..... it doesnt go well wiv acrylic, got chemical reaction... just use the normal one... btw... if we would use super clear, do i need to do panel lining after apply super clear ? or is no different, since the gundam marker also is the oil-based type ? But the dry-transfer decal & the normal decal is recommend to apply after spray super clear coat, right ?

QUOTE(z3r0717 @ Jul 23 2008, 04:18 PM) well, modellers do it like tat, afta painting the whole kit, topcoat/superclear once then panel lining and decals(any type) then lastly another layer of topcoat/superclear... if u do just snap fit, doesn't really matter which goes 1st to me... hmm...well , i think most of all, i will just do snap fit without painting the whole kit. Cause before this, i think i recall reading some article from some fella before that said if apply superclear coat after you do panel lining & apply decals, it will somehow "melt" the lining making the ink looks like it was burst out, & would melt the decals too.

QUOTE(z3r0717 @ Jul 23 2008, 04:48 PM) hmm... topcoats won't melt anything... they just make ur decals blend better with the kit so that it looks natural and superclear makes ur lining darken tat's wat i've experienced Oic... then i shall feel much more safer when i am apply decals first. & save the lining for last step. thanks for all the explaination

Hi, would like to ask something.
I was using Mr.Hobby Flat top-coat to spray my model kits, i had tried to use hot water to warm up the can first, & the weather humidity wasn't high enough as it was still very hot, i had spray thin layer of coat on the kits in a not too near distance, but why it still appeared those white marks all over the kits?? Is there any way when spraying it can reduce the chances of getting those white mark?

QUOTE(z3r0717 @ Aug 10 2009, 07:17 PM) those white marks are called frosting... either you didn't shake the spray can well enough or something wrong with the can. using spray can for coating is risking.. i've experience frostings as well b4.. Hmm... i'll try again next time, will try my luck next time. no choice, i dunhav any airbrush that's the best for me already. anyway, just was thinking this, do spraying a layer of gloss or semi-gloss, then after that only try to spray a thin layer of flat coat, will that reduce the risk of frosting ? although is ridiculous to think like that.

QUOTE(z3r0717 @ Aug 10 2009, 08:11 PM) hmm... i know how you feel.. i used to stuck with spray cans only too... thanks to someone, i could use AB but it's not mine.  hmm... on AB, u can spray gloss or semi-gloss then last layer is flat would be no problem.. for spray cans should be the same... another layer of flat coat doesn't mean less risk of frosting... as long it's coating, there's a risk for frosting. I think it'll be better for other members to comment on this. I know how to repair the frosting la.. use hobby thinner, lightly rub it away. Unless u semangat strip the paint and paint again  hm... ic. Btw, which thinner should i get, i saw there's a leveling thinner, hobby color thinner, mr.color thinner...which is the one that one that you mentioned?? another things is, if the frosting is already been a while, does it still able to use the thinner to rub it off? or it must be doing it immediately?
