Hey Ken No I generally just use the chrome as comes in the kit, and touch up any that flakes off with the Molotow chrome pen I then put Tamiya panel line accent on the bits where I want to add depth I’ve seen other modellers who soak the chrome plating in liquids that remove it and then they paint it silver but to me the Tamiya panel line accent settles it down enough to look less “toyish” But then what do I know I am learning too 😂😂😂

Usually after I prime but if there is an obvious issue I will correct it before I prime. If the primer lays down without revealing any issues there’s no need to sand but usually it reveals things to tidy up

How much time between paint and clear, and between clear coats mate?

@ChickpeaHobbies

2 ай бұрын

Hey mate Between my mist coats, extremely short time. Like a 1-3 minutes at a guess. Just enough for the paint to gas out a little (so I don’t get runs) eg it sort of evaporates before your eyes. Between each of these mists I pop the model in a dust proof thing to sit. However take that with a grain of salt as a few on here have said I use too much paint. I just paint the way that suits me, Tamiya paints are pretty thin and I find doing multiple coats works for me so will keep doing it this way As for clear coat, I let the paint cure for at least 24 hours. Just because it’s touch try doesn’t mean it is fully gassed out and can still be curing and changing shape. Applying clear before the bottom paint layer is fully cured and gassed out can result in that wrinkled paint, as the paint and clear are curing at different rates The basic theory I work to is that as soon as paint starts drying at all do not apply anything on top till it’s completely dry otherwise you get wrinkles because you’ve got semi dry paint curing under new paint and it gets ugly. So with Tamiya paints that start drying really quick I would eg never ever wait an hour between paint coats, it’s either the next coat misted on a couple of minutes later, or a very long wait. So this model would have been like Prime & wait half a day to a day Then Mist paint coats with a few minutes between each coat, keeping an eye on it to make sure nothing is going to run Then a long wait at least 24 hours Then clear And if I use multiple clear coat mists, it’s only a couple of min between each mist Remember the more you handle the model and move it around the more risk of dropping it and getting dust all over it so look into a little spray booth or I’ve done a foam shelter to sit mine in to dry by lining foam with baking paper type stuff to make it relatively dust free and I sit the model in there after spraying outside . Hope this helps and I am no expert at all so take what I say with a grain of salt 😂
