Something i'd like to add that I have found to be probably the most valuable tip when trying paint combos to see if they play nice. test it out on a plastic spoon. I picked up a box I think of 50 of them and it was only ~$3. Or if you eat a lot of fast food usually you can just toss 1 or 2 in the bag with your order. That way you're not messing up a $20 or more model kit that you probably already have time invested in with other parts.
Another thing you might try is powdered carbon on top of primer for sanding mold lines, I work in a body shop and we use a dry guide coat, it goes on top of the primer when it's dry and when you sand you can see where all the imperfections are and where you have sanded....
I use Duplicolor scratch filling primer/sealer, works great and is compatible with almost all color coats, from Duplicolor, to Krylon Fusion...Then I use Tamiya clear for the clear LOL
The po' boy way of finishing a kit is a can of krylon. Light sandpaper grit, rinse car off, dry, tack cloth all lint. Find a hot day, mist paint, wait, mist, until its glossy..
great video and very informative, I'm having major problems at the moment with paint flaking off at the sharp edges of the model car body, the paint chips off down to the bare plastic takes the primer and everything with it. will using the scotch pad all over cure this ? does it give the primer something to bite into. I'm using duplicolour primer and top coat they are acrylic based sprays. thanks
+gaztheK Scotch or sanding paper will scuff up the surface and therefore indeed giving the primer something to grab on to. if the surface is unprepared its to slippery and the paint could fall straight off like what you explained.
Hey! Love your work man inspired me to start again. Do you like Alclad primer and clear? I live in australia and dont have too many options. And also can I decant tamiya spray primer to use in my airbrush? Thanks :)
By using the black marker does that let you find ruff spots on the edges? Is that the reason for the marker? Great video and VERY INFORMATIVE buddy. Keep up the good work. Thumbs up bud.
Do you have any recommendations for knowing when in the building process to paint different parts? Obviously every model is different, but it seems easy to paint too early, or too late.
iv found i leave alot scratches from sanding body b4 paint with 600grit tamiya sponge any advice on how to avoid it or should I use 800 to 1000 instead?, thanks in advance ,👍
Hi! What is that thing you use to mount the kits while painting? I've seen it on several of your videos but have yet to come across a description on it. I'm a big fan of your builds btw! Cheers!

You showed a bottle Tamiya surface primer at 7:23.Any idea how i would thin it for airbrush? I do agree with you it is a fantasic primer but where i live it $15 a can.
1.) what is the best grit of sandpaper to smooth plastic kits before applying primer? 2.) Do i have to necessarily sand the plastic kit after i apply the primer or is it just fine to go straight with the paint?
should I wet sand or dry sand? I remember reading or seeing somewhere about wet sanding... and any tips on how to use little sheets of sandpaper more... ergonomically friendly? easier to handle? I've thought of wrapping them around something but I'm not sure what that something should be yet lol
If i am only painting it in 1 color with the airbrush(no masking tape etc) just primer. If i plan to do more then one color(with masking tape etc) i scuff it up with some sandpaper or scotchbrite.
The Scalemodeling Channel any tips for painting with lacquer(nail polish) with an air brush? I've always painted with enamel rattle cans. I've been told you mix it with a medium heat thinner at 2:1. is that right?(2 parts paint to 1 part thinner)
+gary williams sorry man, no clue. I've never worked with naul polish before. Though just like any other paint: when thinning for airbrush use, i go for a milk thickness
I accidentally picked up a rough sand paper and I am seeing the scratches all over my shell. The spray is not filling it in and still seeing the scratches. Is there a way I can fix this?
what's the differences between using sanding stick and sandpaper? do you use the same grit? how about using sandpaper only without sanding stick? thanks for your tips anyway..
+Bigfai Channel a sanding stick is rigid. Wich makes it easier to just touch the high spots. Sanpaper can create low spots arround the high spot. The same grit aplies
Hi, In the process of painting my 1/18 scale model. I have removed all existing paint so I am back to bare metal. I had some side moldings on the doors and front and rear sides, which I have removed using an electric sander. My question to you is can I go ahead and spray primer or should I go over the car with a 600 grade sandpaper as you have in this video? I ask this as your model appears to still have paint on it.
would not recommend vallejo primer. such a pain to work with. ive got an AK interactive primer now to give a try. hopefully its less hassle. if not ill try zero if i can get it.
A golf? Didn't know they made a kit for that vehicle. If you want to guild a golf, I have one in my barn my son started on and left in pieces parts. LoL
I did a very bad paint job on my 911 (i'm on my 4th model build now). Is it possible to remove all the paint using thinner? I already gave it a try but it takes so long to remove as I had 4-5 coats and I'm thinking of dipping the whole body in thinner or just buy the kit again but I already invested a lot of time in it. your input is greatly appreciated and your work is very meticulous and above all I like your voice and accent as it's very clear and easy to understand. Cheers from Boston!
If it is acrylic paint you have used? It may work to drain a cotton cloth with sealing foam-pistol cleaner and work it in. You may do this several times if you have thick layers of paint. But unfortunately it´s quite expensive, at least here where I live ;)
For acrylic - I used some auto break fluid. I let the parts soak in for about 20+ minutes, then I used a toothbrush to clean it off - it worked really well. But be careful with the break fluid - use rubber gloves, and discard of it properly (I put it back in the bottle for future use, but I will return it to an auto repair shop for disposal). Another (safer) alternative would be a windows cleaning product that contains ammonia, but I haven't found any around here.
Integrering to hear. Break fluid has never worked for me if the paint is dry and even have an acrylic clearcoat on top. I had a model in such bath for 2 years and it didn't bite really. Maybe that the break fluid is too environmental friendly here.
Daniel Jansson hehe. I had these parts marinate in water with dishwashing soap for a few weeks, with no results. While with this break fluid (dot 3, the cheapest I could find), it rubbed off right away. Maybe it's the clearcoat that it's more protective? (I hadn't painted the clearcoat, it was raw acrylic paint).
Do you sand the entire model before painting or just the mold lines? Also, I'm having problems sanding with 1200 sand paper it just takes the paint off my test piece I'm using to learn how to do this.
Thanks for the video dude. I'm new to modeling and this helps a lot. What kind of set up is that you're working in though? Where did you get that metal box or what is it called? Thank you.
Hello There unfortunately I'll HAVE to hand paint mine. I've seen a video on here of a guy who hand painted his model car, and it didn't turn out bad at all. he used very very thin coats of paint to avoid brushstrokes. and a lot of layers of thin coats too, he went about it very meticulously. now it will not give that perfect "like the real thing" finish, but as I said it didn't look bad at all. I'm only on my second scale model, first car, my first build was a Revell titanic (1:400 I believe? I'll have to check that) and I hand painted it. It turned out pretty well, not as well as I could have done, (had to rush it, it was a last minute Christmas gift) but brush strokes weren't extremely obvious to the eye.

After sanding, scribing and roughing up the surface of the body, how do you clean up any residue (plastic dust and other particles) before priming?
Whash it, or dust it off with high pressure air

I was told to use adhesion promoter not primer cause primer doesn't really stick to plastic
If you prepare the surface correctly and use the right primer it sticks just fine. I have never used adhesion promoter
Do you wash the parts your painting before painting g

Any point laquering gloss black
If you want to improve the gloss
But why did you mark the body lines with a marker? I don't understand the purpose of that.
I mark the moldlines. To show where they are. And then use the markings as a guide for removing them
what's the reason for the permanent marker? is it like a guide coat, to make sure it's sanded flat?
Exactly as you said it, its a guide coat
