Depends, what colour you want it to be?
You could try a permanent marker or something like a Tamiya Clear paint, but the underlying yellow will cause interference. Best look at a colour chart, pigment not light, to see if there is a colour that will work.
Might be a bit of trial and error though, so test on the sprue.

tbh, the Only way to prevent silvering is to apply a gloss coat, decal then flat/satin coat over.

decals of anytype work best on a perfectly smooth surface, where flat and satins to get thier look are actually microscopic pittied coats, hense not flat.

so what you need to do is 1 gloss, apply decals then Flat/satin coat parts. Silvering is when…[Read more]

Maybe you can try to let the paint to cure for about 24 hour and then apply your decals and then let your decals dry for another 24 hours for it to be completely dry before flat top coating it. As you know, moisture affects the paint job even top coats. I’ve also learned from other tutorials that humid temperature has an effect on paint. I’m not…[Read more]

satin is about the same as matt. as the other’s have said you’ll want to use the gloss, apply the transfer then seal with whatever finish you want and that’s the finish you’ll have. a matt or satin finish over a gloss coat will cancel the glossiness.

There’s a guitar pick made of metal, I think that’s gonna do the job. goodluck Bro! @superxvegito

Primer is always best to start with. I use the vallejo range for hand painting and i use their model air range for airbrushing and they are awesome. Thinning down will most likely be a personal preference for most people as it can depend on the effect and/or result you are after. just experiment and see how you go, tho i do find that even the…[Read more]

If you have a Games Workshop near you, they do spray paint, used to be just black and white but there is a small selectuon of colours now, and they make a spray matt top coat called purity seal.
You can never thin your paints too much! You can always paint more layers. Also if you can afford too, use a paint medium rather than water to thin your…[Read more]

P.p.s. Use different brushes and water pots for normal paint and metallic paint, to prevent cross contamination.
This has happened to me arrgh 🙁
Hand painting can be a lengthy process to get really good results, bur very satisfying 🙂

there’s a few ways to go about this situation. You could replace the part which is easier said than done outside of japan. You could find a pose you really like and glue it into that pose. You could attempt a repair, judging from the pic you posted pinning maybe the way to go. you can just live with it. or the final option You could turn your…[Read more]

tldr wanted to try my first kit bash and a friend gave me the only idea I got…not my primary choice but I could make this good if done right XD

It’s not bad and works in a pinch, it is pretty durable & yes it works with Tamiya. Next time i suggest just commenting on your own question. otherwise you’ll get a disconnect in your posts

I believe @Ryan commented on this and thier working on it but it’s being elusive as to what’s causing this glitch

The Upload and comments are working….but the Dialog box or posting box now is impossible to find….i guess we will have to wait on them to find out what is the issue.
