Need help guys!!! I bought a mrhobby white 1000 a few years back intending to paint my Gundam but never did it, and I forget how the step works, I put the base then paint with acrylic paint then put a top coat? And where do you guys buy the paint? And paint first or build first?

Unless damn good at masking or the parts are single colored.

Primer, paint, top coat

Paint first or build first up to you, personally I will do both depending on how much seamlines are in the kit

You can build frame first. For the body covers, prime first before paint. Last when everything completed, apply decal and top coat it.

2. Panel line with tamiya panel line accent
3. Weathering with soft pastel..maybe wana buy tamiya weather master
4. Final coat with matte coat

Use lacquer, in general paints with "hotter" thinners tend to be at bottom layers
