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!

how about the gold used by keita's white SF (http://f7.aaa.livedoor.jp/~mesarion/gallery/wsfm/wsfm.htm)

Does champagne gold spray can + semi-gloss top coat produce anything close?

I have the same kit and sprayed it using the Tamiya Gold paint. It does not resembles the FBM gold in any way but at least looks better than the original one smile.gif

Well, its not fully assembled yet at the moment. Just sprayed the gold parts with the Tamiya paint. About the product code, let me go back and check it for you. I remember the name is just Gold. Was looking for either Chrome Gold or Gold Leaf but couldn't seem to find it.

Regarding the pictures, will go back and post it tonight or tomorrow smile.gif

The code of the gold is TS-21 but i still feel the Gold Leaf should look nicer. smile.gif

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

Appreciate your help. wink.gif
