i have more questions about spray painting some gundam :3 im painting the new blue frame mg and i was wondering if i was to use a metallic blue would i also need a metallic white and yellow or will it look fine with only one metallic color?
The best extra finish if you would paint it black gloss and then metallic silver and last is the clear blue..you would not get metallic blue but you would get a titanium finish
When you’re wanting a true metallic finish, sadly metallic paint isn’t the answer. The reason for this is because metallic paints are actually just a regular paint color with metal flakes in it. The best way to so, is like described above. Use a good silver paint, notably a silver chrome, and then go over that with a clear blue/green/red/etc. This will give you the initial color you want, with a great shine to it, as the clear color will retain the shine, without the silver color itself.
