I’ve tested white spray paint on actual part (thank you Bandai for so many extra parts in this kit!). I’m still not sure about painting white parts, but this one came out pretty nice. It has nice shining effect, though i couldn’t catch it with my camera =( Tomorrow I’m gonna try lining with enamel since gundam markers does not work that well with painted surfaces.
Right part is painted, left isn’t %)

Wait, have you topcoated this? You won’t be able to clean off excess enamel without taking off at least some of that paint. 🙁
So the topcoat would protect the spray paint from the thinner, right? Which would you recommend, a gloss coat?
You should put down a gloss coat first, anything from mr.hobby is probably fine in light coats. If you’re airbrushing, you can go for pledge future, which is a floor polish that many modelers use for a gloss coat. It works, but sometimes I can’t seem to get all the enamel off, but that could be my own fault, I’ve only used the enamel wash twice
I wonder if semi-gloss coat will do… I could get only this =(
I’m goin to try both – with and without coating. I have only semi-gloos coat and still not sure if it is ok to use with enamel/enamel thinner or not. That’s my main problem right now -_-
Semi-gloss should work just fine. Remember to use enamel thinner sparingly though, as it can eat away polystyrene and ABS.
