HELP! I am working on my first gunpla kit and have run into a hesitation. I have painted all the parts with tamiya spray cans (lacquer) and used a enamel paint to hand paint the eyes. My next step was to be panel lining wit either gundam markers or panel wash. I was looking into how to do both. I ran out to grab a cheap airplane kit to practice on the wings. I sprayed tamiya ts-13 clear to act as a top coat prior to trying both methods. The panel wash worked really well until until I took my testors enamel thinner to clean it up. The thinner ate up the plastic and topcoat, is this to be expected? if not what did I do wrong? I took gundam panel line marker (also covered in tamiya clear ts-13) to the other wing and fond that I was unable to effectively erase the marker, I put test mark on a flush area and neither a cotton swb, rubber eraser, or my finger was able to erase the mark. The eraser after heavy use got just about if not all of it but then left a very noticable mark to th clear coat. Does anyone have advice, input, and suggestions on these? I live in the United States so I can only get stuff available here. Thanks in advance for the help.
