Re: Painting procces
1) Local priming and sanding to the areas, where seam lines and sink marks are eliminated.
2) Gunze Mr. Surfacer Spray 1200 x 2 coats 3) (Optional) Mr. White Surfacer Spray or Tamiya White Primer Spray x 3 coats 4) (Optional) Base color (pink for red, tan for yellow etc) x 2 coats 5) Body Color x 4 coats by spray can or airbrush 6) Tamiya TS-13 clear, or Gunze Super Clear x 8 coats After so many layers of paint, I still don't lose the details, so you can guess how thin, each coat is. |

Re: Painting procces
use rough (coarse) grit for grinding away plastic, and fine grit for smoothing.
