Yeah, I have never had any issues with them. They always seem to have the colors I need and it doesn’t hurt that they are dirt cheap : ). I also give it 2 to 3 coats of paint to each part depending so its not a first coat of paint kinda deal.
A few people have been asking me what supplies I have been using so here it is. I have a very minimum set-up and it may not be very practical or common when it comes to the paint but it has always worked for me and I have always been happy with the results. Also included a photo from my previous post so you don’t have to scroll up and down to have a look.
No I have never done a clear coat. It can scratch off with force of course. I find it useful if I’m not happy with how a certain color is looking. Some times when moving the legs the skirts will scratch off some of the leg paint but thats rare, and easy to touch up but like anything else if you treat it with care it will be just fine.
Thanks! I feel that hand painting gives a personal touch to the kits. I also feel that since I spend time painting each individual piece by hand that I know the kit inside and out.
HGUC Gouf Custom Progress. Finished the chest section today and attached the head. Very happy with the progress of this kit so far. Plan on finishing the arms sometime this weekend.
Still can’t believe that’s hand painted. Looks just like airbrush. Great job!
That’s HAND painted?! You’re kidding! Man, we need to step up our game…
Yeah its hand painted 🙂 Made a post with my supplies a while back if you want to check it out.
You get those results with that simple over-the-counter stuff?! *head explodes*

I have the same model unpainted, yours look definitively better. Good job! @wldeyoung
That looks really good mate! Air brush quality but hand painting! Keep up the good work!
