yup should be lacquer, or at least lacquer resistant...... been using decants with my old spray cans and thinning with lacquer thinner for airbrushing

if you scared then buy gunze topcoat, the sky colour small can that is an acrylic topcoat, works well for it too:):)

recommends acrylic or oils for handpainting. its easier and less volatile than lacquer. enamel is slow drying therefore smoother finish if you let it set. acrylics if artist grade are very smooth and quick drying. i recommend daler rowney from artfriend or lifecolour from mws

personally i use lifecolours for handpaint and enamels for weathering.

Do I have to prime before hand painting? What is the recommended water/thinner:paint ratio?

Just bought the MG Blitz!:s12::s12:

the inner frame looks like a lighter grey compared to other gundams. Wonder what grey I should use.
