    Hey guys, so I have a few questions about painting. I had heard that the mg musha mk 2 is undergated, and so I was wondering if it was possible to paint the parts on the runner without obvious marks in the paint scheme. I was also wondering if it was possible to paint over the chrome blades in clear paint or sharpie without ruining the chrome. Sorry if these are obvious questions, I’m very new to this, I’ve only built two mg’s and have never painted one before ^^;

    • okie, 1. no you’ll have to touch up gate area’s no matter what.

      2. if it’s acrylic & you seal the chrome first with something like future, yes.

    • the point of the undergate is to hide the gatemarks by placing them on surfaces that will not be seen so touch-ups aren’t needed but the question is whether or not it’s all undergated and how well that was implemented. as for the clear paints over chrome, that can be done but be very careful not to touch it or let it run till it’s completely cured.

      • i re-read the description after i read ur comment and u’re right, only the chrome is undergated, i think the rest of the model isn’t :/ as for the chrome, i think im going to try sealing it with future like fox williamson suggested, the four day curing time sounds worth it XD thanks for the advice 🙂

        • thats why i didn’t bother mentioning it originally. did one once and yes most of the non chrome was not under-gated, so short of decanting your rattles to do touch ups after.

          and i always future my chromes before i even touch em. protects the surface and lets me even try thinks like color tinting without risking the finish.
