    Hi, got another gundam paint question, this time involving gundam unicorn PHENEX (hg gft version)!

    I’m conflicted between a Out of box build with panel lines (Since I have the mg coming, I have an odd collection of unicorns now) or to paint, thing is I cannot exactly match what the manual says to use since I’m a spray can noob (the main body requires gold as the base, clear yellow and clear orange, and same again for main camera and crest but with silver as the base).

    So, IF I choose to paint him using the tamiya spray can range, how can I go about it?

    Could I use a silver spray and attempt to go over in clear red (instead of orange) or would I be better off finding another safe for plastic paint, and could I just layer spray cans on top of each other?

    Otherwise what else can we recommend other than plain gold, plain gold looks ok for the joints of rg strike freedom but I need something even brighter for the main body, and an example someone else did with a type of brass…well I can’t use unless I hand paint, and I’m pretty crap with hand painting :c

    Otherwise any suggestions for color choices for my hg unicorn phenex, thanks!

    • Prepare to do many masking.

      make it easy to understand…after your primer, gloss black or semi-gloos black, then metallic color. Like Gold will be on black if you want your gold to shine. The rest are the same, black will be yor base color for all metallic color. The clear orange and clear yellow, are they suppose to be clear or metallic? Try not hand paint metallic color as I find it very difficult to handle it. hope that help, cheers 🙂

      • Thanks, um the clears are meant to be clear…

        Looking at the display pic it has a hint of orange showing as its not quite a straight up gold, but a bright sun like color…

        The plastic currently is close to it but the plastic defects are enhanced 10 fold by it somehow, guess bandai need more practice with “gold” plastic XD
