I just used a gold gundam marker for the gold trim. Much easier than i thought, if it was'nt for the gold parts being raised up then it would be impossible.

Hmmmm thats a good idea. I may give that a try. Thanks for the tip!

Hmm What you might wanna do is use a tooth pic to keep the black and clean it up. I would think masking would help but those are some small areas. I remember someone doing this kit before and had problems let me try to find it and see what he did ill send u the link. What was wrong with the Gold? Did you mix it?

[KnowOne]

Yeah the areas is SO small its hard to keep the color from bleeding into them. As for the color I stirred it up really well. But it only looks....ok IMHO. It looks better in those pix than it did in person. I dunno. I think I want to try to find the Gold marker that guy in the video you sent me was using.

One advice, maybe you can snip the pieces out before spraying cos after painting it you'll still have to snip it off the runners and paint will be scraped off for sure when you're sanding it.

i bought this last week and i finished it in maybe i think 3 days working off and on

its my 4th build but i havent added any decals

gundam markers would slide over it and you could use a panel liner to get the inside if any went in

use reverse wash technique:

1. spray them with gold lacquer base paint (like MR Color spray), fully dry (2 days min).

2. hand paint the black with enamel base paint, dont worry about it covering the gold paint, dry a few hours.

3. dip cotton buds in Tamiya enamel thinner, squeeze excess, then lightly rub the gold paint. the thinner will remove the black paint on the raised gold parts, but will not harm the gold paint because its lacquer base. lacquer is hard to strip.

well for your problem i might know a easy fix,

since the tamiya spray is acrylic i think, just grab a can of krlon crystal clear gloss clear coat from walmart and some zippo lighter fluid. once you have those spray the clear coat o the black you just painted, then wait for it dray about a day or so to be shure.

then take the enamel gold paint as usual, then tab a quetip in the zippo fluid and clean up the rest. but withthe que tip go over gently with not alot of zippo fluid on it.

paint laquer based gold then black enamel based black over the whole thing. Then get a q tip, get some zippo oil on it and start erasing so that as you erase away, gold part reveals. "reverse painting" if you will.

I was also thinking maybe you should just paint it best u can and where ever there is a spot missing use a really sharp hobby knife to scrape it away or just use a tooth pic or something to put some black in the area

Well the guy who did it on the link I sent which I guess I didnt leave or something... He used Tamiya Gold Leaf and Tamiya is 10 times better so look to find that. I will try to see if I can find somewhere online to buy Tamiya paints in the USA we can make a bulk order ^_^
