I top coat my top coat, top coat that top coat, top coat that top coat, top coat that top coat, top coat that top coat, and top coat that top coat. My kit then turns milky white because of all the protection and I am comfortable with leaving it on my shelf. It doesn't move because of all the protection and I never have problems with a joint dropping down because of gravity. I just hate it when I want a different weapon and or different pose because then I have to buy another kit and do it all over again. The kit ends up costing $500 and most of the cost is top coat. Lol. Don't be like me, enjoy your possibility. The reason why I know some of this stuff, I put 4 coats on a figure as a kid and it's still a statue, next to my TV and it's a funny conversation starter. It's special to me and I wanted to protect it and it's still special to me but it's not a figure anymore and I learned to put on very lite coats and I usually only do 2 coats now. For metallic, I use gloss and I sometimes add a 3rd coat but buff wax with a Dremel pad. Then I get the song shinny in my head from the movie Moana and look at my reflection in the paint. Chrome I do the same thing but I only did it to 3 kits for the gloss and everything else is flat top coat and easy. I don't recommend the shiny process but I like it on my 1/100th Kampfer and my Iron Man custom Bearrguy and Pikachu custom Petit right next to each other. Car wax seems to be working for tightening joints but I only tried it a month ago and I always have car wax around, that's why I tried it.

Very useful video. Not sure if you've used lacquer paint before, but I can confirm from at least two kits worth of experience that enamel thinner doesn't affect lacquer paint at all. Neither does acrylic thinner. Enamel thinner on bare plastic is also highly destructive, so don't ever use it to panel line a straight-built kit. When in doubt, try something on a piece of spare runner or the back of a plastic spoon.

However, I have a question: where did you get the information that Enamel thinner is fine on polystyrene (PS) plastic? Is it by experience or you have also other sources? I am asking because in other forums there are people that say that this thinner is bad on all plastics.

I'm a beginner builder, just learning to use the airbrush. Painting was an anxiety-inducing activity for me at first because there's so much going on in my head about getting even coats, spidery-runny splotches, correct air pressure, how much to thin etcetera etcetera... All that pressure is gone once I found out I could easily strip unsatisfactory paint results with isopropyl alcohol.

Some additional notes below: -After the initial snap assembly you can remove seam lines, do a bit of scratch building, pla-plating, and customization. -After priming, you can do some pre-shading using an air brush prior to laying down your base paint. It will add depth to your finished kit.

Hi @ZakuAurelius, I just went back to the hobby and most of your kit reviews and guides help me a lot. I am new to painting and now I am on a binder. I am now on the steps of panel lining but I use Mr.Hobby AQUEOUS HOBBY COLOR for my base coat which is an Acrylic based paint. I am also using AQUEOUS HOBBY COLOR gloss topcoat (which is acrylic as well) with my airbrush to top coat. Will this top coat helps protect my base coat from Tamiya Accent Panel lining which is an enamel base wash? Most I read online say enamel cannot go on top of acrylic paints. The pledge you mentioned is not available in the country I am in, and only find Pledge Revive it which I believe is acrylic based as well. I hope you can help me with this situation. Thank you.

You can technically omit from priming but your finish may or may not end up the way you want (sanding is also a factor.). Priming is almost always a necessary step because it helps with the paint's adhesion on the surface and provides a neutral color for the paint to show its color. Even if the color is the same as the plastic the process is still the same.... Unfortunately.

Yep you can do that! Just keep in mind whether you plan on moving any parts later. If you weather and topcoat while it’s fully assembled I would plan to leave it in one pose

My hands aren't the steadiest when using pens so do I need to panel line a kit or does it matter if you need to or not

It certainly helps your kits look better! And it doesn’t matter if you make a mess, you can clean it up! Clean up is a part of panel lining, even for those with steady hands
