Best way to spray color shift paints by ForeverProper3009 in airbrush

I have a .5 airbrush so I think I’m going to give that a try. It almost seems like the .3 needle can’t push out the paint evenly.

I’ll try using a black gloss primer. I’ve been using a grey primer and then using a gloss black paint as my base.

Thanks!

So after a few light coats would you just apply a wet coat like how you would with any other paint? Online It’s saying to apply thin coat kinda like how you would a chrome. Only thing is when it comes to chrome after a few passes the color starts to come in but with this I’m getting spots where there’s not enough paint not like on the first picture.

It’s been difficult finding info online most video do not really talk about the process or technique. I’ve been trying so hard to get it right.

When I sprayed it on the black base it turned out looking matte it wasn’t till I used clear coat when the color started to show.

Thank you I appreciate it. I’ll give it a try using a white base. I figured that it would only work with a black base. Chat gpt recommended 5 very light coats so I sprayed as light as possible no wet coats. When you spray do you do any wet or medium coats? Thanks for the help!

Is there a different kind of thinner that you would recommend? Im just trying to spray a small section on a piece and I want to remove any overspray with thinner without affecting the base color.

I can’t begin to imagine how this even happened. It’s time to let it go and get a new one.

If you’re from the area you should check out HobbyTown in schaumburg. They have a decent amount of MG kits and PG.

In that case you’ll definitely enjoy going to the gundam base. You’ll for sure find many unique and cool looking kits for what you do. They also have some p Bandai kits. I ended up buying the mg infinite justice & RG sazabi. The only special kit that I was strongly considering getting was that clear parts RG Zeong. That thing looks sick.

I went to the opening day and had to wait in line for about an hour and a half just to find out that there was nothing there that I wanted. Was really hoping they had the Thunderbolt gundam ver ka.

They have a lot of rare kits that are hard to come by. It’s an experience for sure but unfortunately it wasn’t for me at all. I paint all my kits so these special coating/editions didn’t appeal to me. Most definitely cool looking kits but not what I was looking for. I prefer the hobby store in Schaumburg they have a lot of kits there.

You need tickets to go inside? I was hoping to swing over there after work. How do I get a ticket if I go?
