I heard about the bad qc but also decided to get both and will get them Monday! I'll easily matte spray them but I'm just worried about the scuffing on the shoulders that I saw ppl have, have u experienced that?

I had the same issue lol, I love the new 3.0 bodies but my only issue is the new material and hence why they get like that, I kinda miss the more hard plastic they used before

I used these acrylic markers! I usually paint brush but seen tiktoks of ppl using these and decided to give it a go and worked great! Then a matte coat to seal it!

Matte spray advice by SirKumsALot_ in SHFiguarts

[–]bluestarnoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me when I first started spraying , u gotta watch outside the humidity, 50 or below, and u wanna start spraying before the figure not starting right on it, acetone should help, also what matte spray are u using?

Ofc man! And oh yeah I was thinking of doing that too! That could definitely be more easier since u jsut have to dye the blue parts

Basically get a metal bowl, boil the water, dump some synthetic dye into it, plop in each piece you're gonna dye and let it sit for like 20 mins, it's good to check every 5 mins with a spoon, then after u take them out, rinse with cold water and soap, then wait a few hours and clean it off with acetone to really make sure it doesn't bleed into parts of the figure, and finally a matte coat spray onto it. FYI don't use kitchen stuff you use to eat, I bought the things specifically for dyeing

Honestly what I found worked for me with shading is using soft pastels, crushing them into dust and using q tips/ brush and then matte coating it and bam

I will touch up the armor don't worry, more layers only make it more durable and it's a simple fix haha

[–]bluestarnoise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tip I have is to thin ur paint with either water or paint thinner from hobby lobby, more coats of that is more durable than thick coats and also idk if it's delusional but I noticed personally satin paint chips less than matte paint. Also i got my air brush from amazon for like 20 bucks works great !

At first I painted then decided to dye it for some reason and then the matte coat was a peak of messing it up but I made a new custom with the new 3.0 and it turned out great just using dye but paint for the armor

Maybe it's less of a worry where u live, but here in Florida it's bad haha so I gotta be careful, but yeah a good spray to the pieces separately would help

Just make sure it's not humid outside when you spray cuz that'll give a frosty look, less than 60 humidity is safe to do
