Just to share some info. I bought PG Strike Rouge from TaoBao.
Package weigh 3.5KG
Using 4PX to ship to SG and delivery to home. SGD$25($115rmb)
u need airbrush or spraycan.
to bring out the shine, u need a coat of gloss black followed by the gold (e.g Gaia note star bright gold), then lastly a few gloss coat
Can use spraycan but u will finish your spraycan very fast because your finishing has to be smooth and super glossy especially for the black.can i use Tamiya TS-14 Gloss Black as base, then follow by Tamiya TS-84 Metallic Gold ?
not advisable to put Top Coat flat after that right?

As for topcoat use gloss

what would u recommend? hand paint ? air brush very ex right and me still newbie
for metallic finishes, hand paint is going to be very very difficult. u can do hand paint for matt finishing for a start.
between spraycan and airbrush, in the long run spraycan is going to cost more. so if u foresee urself doing this hobby long term, it will be good to invest in an airbrush.
if u want to try out airbrushing before committing to buying, u may want to take a look at this club at bishan CC which is open every sunday afternoon:

nope. for metallic finishing, u need a gloss black coat before spraying the gold/silver. that surfacer is flat black and is going to affect the shine of ur gold/silver
ah..thanks.. got to go to the shop to get it change as the shop guy recommended mr finishing surfacer 1500 black
which shop u went to?
u got tell them u wanted to do metallic finish?
you can always use the surfacer 1500 black, followed by gloss black, then metallic colour, this should make it really smooth.
haha! long time no see man! the last time we met, i think was 2010 or 2009?bro, long time no see!

one question, how long before i proceed the next layer of spray each time?
just done the surfacer
wait for it to be fully dry then can spray next layer.
surfacer very fast dry one... 15min dry already. gloss paint takes longer.
and for metallic, maybe just let it dry overnight (not too sure exactly how long needed )
