Just as what I was wondering... doesn't sanding clear parts leave damage to the parts?
hmm.. any tips for clear parts on how to uh, make it look nicer (e.g. cleaning the nip marks, etc)?

Umm, hi guys. I'm looking to buy a can of Testors Dullcote spray, did a google search and ended up here.
I guess this is the right place to ask...
Do you veteran modellers know anywhere in KL which sells this Testors Dullcote spray can?
Or parhaps you know of any other similar products of other brands (Mr Hobby/Tamiya/etc.)?

I need a clear, transparent spray which isn't glossy. Any help is appreciated.

I thank you guys in advance!

^paint without surfacer???
The paint wont chip off meh??? 
lol spray a layer of top coat after paint lor... don worry it doesn happens to me so far but with surfacer of cuz better lor compared to no surfacer... don purposely go scratch la... becareful and try not to play with it or change its' pose frequently lor...

does it help on removing the scratches caused by sanding/cutting nips off parts? or it is one of the main reasons why you even use it in the first place?

also, will it damage/corrode stickers? or it is actually meant to further protect it?

what about panel lining? will it cause it to fall off or something? or it actually helps preventing it from being able to rub off (after ur satisfied with ur panel lining of course)

eh ive read through the tutorial thread, didnt seem to provide the answer im looking. and with 125 pages on the last version of this thread, it'll be really hard to search through everything >_<
i would suggest someone to pin up dejavu questions into FAQ, so it can be easier for everyone, both asker/answerers.

anyways,

ive heard something about applying something to ur gundam so it removes those scratches caused by sanding? not sure if its topcoating, care to clarify?

for the stickers, basically if i spray top coat on it, it wont eat away or cause the stickers to fall off? kinda how water affect paper, and the top coat is water based right?

whats the difference between doing panel lining before and after top coating?

AH so its surfacer the thing im looking for. so it not only "prepares" the plastic surface for painting, it also "removes" the scratches caused from sanding am i getting this correct?

please excuse my noobish question...

the step to apply the mr.top coat (flat) to remove the plastic gloss should be done after the kit is assembled or parts by parts...?

and where can i get some? (at a cheap/reasonable price)

thaanks in advance for ur answers
