Paints for my Gunpla

Just to share there is three types of paint for air brushing for my Gunpla.

Enamel Paint - easy to use, mix with thinner or Alcohol for thinning and you can use Alcohol to wipe it when you feel like washing the color away.

Acrylic Paint - uses Acrylic Thinner to mix before spray onto kits. Uses Thinner to wash the color away.

Lacquer Paint - uses Lacquer thinner to mix before spray onto kits. Uses Thinner to wash the color away.

Techniques to use or mixing the use of these paints on Gunpla -
1. Use Lacquer Paint or Acrylic Paint as the base and when there is needed to paint some other color onto the part we could use Enamel Paint to paint on top. With this its easier to wipe off the leaks or unwanted area. Mostly solid colors for Enamel is recommended.

2. Creating a weathered effect, use Lacquer Paint or Acrylic Paint as the base and use Enamel Paint as the weathered part/paint. After spraying of Enamel Paint use the sponge to create the weathered or washing of some of the paint by using the rough sponge.

3. Salt weathered effect. Uses salt to create the weathered effect - paints unsure.
