yes the paint is water based.
Question: if the paint and top coat conflicts, won't the damage come almost immediately instead of months later since drying takes days at most and not weeks and months?

no idea abt that.

u can refer to this website so see what kind of paint can go with what:

When Bandai announced that they will be releasing Red Warrior MG, my initial reception was cold. But after releasing more products images, especially the quick impressions completed by a Japanese site, I was sold.

The frame uses a mixture of new and MG RX-78 ver. 2.0 parts, the weapons looks handy as well.

Will be taking it apart this week to prepare for painting.

Check in as fragile, which airline are you flying.

Travelled via Cathay and ANA, both allowed me to check in PG 00 Raiser and Unicorn.

Both boxes arrived at Changi unscathed.

Yup, checked in the original box.

The counter staff at Haneda covered it with a giant plastic bag as well, so it wasn't that obvious when it was rolling on the belt.

Tamiya spray can.

i did purchase airbrush but only when i've completed painting this kit. if u going to paint more kit in future, better to get airbrush. Spray Can quite siong for the wallet

like what the others have warned me earlier...there's no going back after u try painting.

the none-white portions were hand-painted i presume?
painting really brings out the model

all spray can using masking. those small red color one are hand painted.

yes, painting does bring out the model. alot of work but damn happy with it

Hi Guys,

I just bought a MG Sinaju OVA and i really like the metallic colour scheme. I bought metallic red spray can and gloss top coat. Would it be enough to have a metallic finish?

I have always been doing matt finish thus i dont know anything about metallic finish. i dont have an airbrush as well.

Thank you in advance

 

[Errz]

MG Shinanju OVA! bought one too.

think for metallic, better to spray black (gloss) as base first.

anyway, for me, i will be doing this http://www.figure.fm/en/post/1959/MG+1+100+MSN+06S+Sinanju.html .

Primer/Surfacer grey -> Gloss Black -> Silver(Optional for some) -> Metallic colours -> Gloss coat(May need multi layers pending on builder's preference)

Thanks for your reply! is it necessary to have gloss black surface as base?
