Paints, coat etc, local hobby shops will be advisable.

The hobby shops named, HAW/HAG, they sell supplies as well.

Thanks. Will head down to HAW to take a look, after MA from KKH

Nice. I got this recently too. Much better in terms of quality and overall between my 1st one, strike freedom.

think best to buy some cheap HG to try painting first. dont be like me ..

is there any work flow for painting?

eg - complete the build , then strip part by part to paint?

some online tips and tricks

quote from another thread

+paint from lighter color( yellow , white) to darker color (black, grey etc) - usually applies for HG because of masking.
MG/RG parts are mostly or all parts are already seperated nicely for you.

Do you guys wear any respirator when using Tamiya spray cans?

Any alternative type of mask that is cheaper?

if i don't paint, can it do the below steps ?

gloss clear coat on bare plastic - Decal - Gloss clear coat - panel line - Flat clear coat

You can do that as well, personally, I will panel line as I build.

My process will be as follows.

Build+panel line -> first coat -> decal -> final coat.

u can skip the gloss coat also because the bare plastic is smooth enough for decal to stick and for enamel paint to flow for panel lining.
so the sequence will be:
decal -> panel line -> flat coat
