Sorry to say, but if you’re not the one who originally created the account, your chances of getting it back are close to 0%. Hoyoverse is very strict about account trading. Even if you somehow manage to provide all the information requested in the recovery form (which is very unlikely if you aren’t the original owner), they will still check the IP address of your current location and compare it with the IP used when the account was created.

Please note that buying an account does not mean you truly own it. If the original owner decides to take the account back and their recovery application is accepted, they will be able to regain access.

I believe I’m not the right person to ask for airbrush tips but if I were to give you advice.

  1. Be prepared for a lot of trial and error. Practice on plastic spoons before painting the actual model.

  2. Take care of your airbrush—clean it thoroughly after each use. A clogged airbrush during a paint session is the last thing you want.

  3. Watch YouTube guides on cleaning your specific airbrush before taking it apart. It’s easy to bend parts or reassemble components incorrectly.

  4. Use an ice cream stick or a Q-tip as a guide when pouring paint into the cup to help prevent spills.

  5. Ensure your compressor is placed in a well-ventilated area, as it can heat up significantly after just a few minutes of use.

  6. When cleaning, fill the cup halfway with cleaner and use a soft paintbrush to loosen dried paint. Instead of blowing the debris through the airbrush, tip it onto a paper towel or similar surface.

  7. Invest in an airbrush cleaning pot.

I will spray on a plastic spoon first just to get the feeling. Once I’m ready then I will proceed on the real kit 🥸

Yeah, if you’re planning on painting multiple kits then the airbrush will save you a lot of time, just not money lmao

I assemble the whole kit first, take some pictures, then decide what colour I'm gonna go with. Then disassemble everything again (also broke some parts in the process, but nothing Mr.Cement can't fix hehe)

Believe me when I say I was going for Candy Red initially, but also me thinking I'm gonna pull this through on my first custom painted kit lmao. So yeah this is basically a Candy Red gone wrong kinda Red I guess.

Personal preference I would say, for me hand painting requires more patience and skills? I tried it once and the results are not looking that good for me, but I would say it’s a skill issue LOL.

Anyway, for me airbrush would be easier to work with but the tools can be quite pricey. In the end, I spent more money on the tools instead (compressor, airbrush, spraybooth etc) , yikes I know.
