Painting Advice
Finishing Steps
Reusable painting guides selected for this model.
Surface Prep and Priming
Use this sequence to get smoother coats and better paint adhesion.
- Remove wisps and support marks with a hobby knife, then lightly sand rough areas with 320-400 grit.
- Wash the model with mild soap and water, then let it dry fully before priming.
- Apply 2-3 thin coats of primer instead of one heavy coat, waiting for each coat to flash off.
- For bright color schemes, use white or light gray primer; for metallic or dark schemes, use black primer.
Acrylic Basecoat and Seal
A reliable process for clean color coverage and durable finish.
- Thin acrylic paint slightly and build color in multiple light passes to preserve detail.
- Start with base colors, then add shading in recesses and highlights on edges.
- Let the model dry completely before handling, especially between major color zones.
- Finish with a clear coat: matte for display realism, satin for a mild sheen, gloss for vibrant, toy-like finishes.
