Q/A & Help Group 8 years, 11 months agoHi , is it ok to use regular masking tape to tape up kits , before painting? Or is it much better to use a proper hobby tape?

Great ! I have always wanted to try taking my kits to the next level , but was stressed about “ruining ” them . Definitely going to give this ago so thanks again n i might post some pics if it comes up good !

think we all have those worries, but ofcourse if you don’t try you can’t succeed. and for the most part paint can be taken back off if need be so you don’t need to worry too much.
anyways good luck, have fun, and don’t get discouraged if things don’t turn out the way you want them right away.

Steve thanks again mate .
After your encouragement im going to give it a go .I have yet to paint an inner frame i have previously only painted ext armour . With curing would you suggest waiting 1 day between coats or do all coats in one day then leave to cure before putting together? I dont usually do the inner frame because i was lead to believe…[Read more]-
what I usually do is paint each layer let it dry (possibly not cure but atleast dry to the touch) do the next layer, and so on, till I want to do panel lines or add a second color, then I let it cure before moving on. as for the inner frame the layer isn’t that thick, there really isn’t a problem painting inner frames except right at the joints,…[Read more]

Thank you very much for the reply!
Yes it was more the colours used that i really liked . As i have only painted one or two kits i wasnt sure if they had simply painted the grey inner frame silver or done something tricky .Again thanks for taking the time to reply and if you have tips on painting my pg the would be much appreciated !
-
well I wouldn’t say they didn’t do anything tricky, just on the chance that they actually did, but for the most part it seems a rather straightforward build. one thing though is they do seem to be taking some time to paint at least a few details, like the blue on the hands, don’t have the kit myself but two colors on the back of the hand piece is…[Read more]

Can anybody give me some advise on achieving this finish , keeping in mind ill be using spray cans .
I m not expecting it to be as good but i think it looks sooo good i would love to give it go.This is the…[Read more]

I don’t really see a problem here if all you want is the finish, it’s a simple matte finish, however I suspect you’re after something more than just the finish. What I can see is that he used a silver on the inner frame, and seems to have colored the armor in sort of a real grade style, with two tones on the white, there’s probably some…[Read more]

Proper hobby tapes are better IMO.
to add to that just a bit, regular masking tape can leave behind a sticky residue, the proper stuff is better about that, though I won’t go as far as to say it’ll never happen I’ll say it’s less likely.
Thanks for the advice 🙂
