Pre-Painting Rituals

[ikabod]

How do you wash your kits? What do you use to wash it? how do you prep up your AB, have you mixed all your paints already for the desired color before you start painting?

Let us know guys. . .

for washing i use: Dishwashing Detergent, Old Toothbrush.

before painting: (As mannyD suggested) i use: Cotton Buds dabbed with Mr. Color Thinner.

for paints i use: Cheap Spray Paint Cans. as for the color, what's available in hardware stores.
if the color is not available, last resort, i use branded ones na like Tamiya Spray Paints.

Thinner? dabbed with thinner not with alchohol? like what's on that max style tutorial?

i also asked that to mannyD. he says it's ok din with alcohol. i checked other forum sites, and they use alcohol din. he suggested this Mr. Color Thinner lang before. it's a thinner for plastic kaya hindi gaanong harmful sa gundam kits natin. not like the household thinner baka masira lang ang kits. this is what he said dun sa Zeta PG thread nya. i also asked this to other forums. they told me that it's ok to use Mr. Color's Thinner but it's just an expensive way daw to clean our kits. kasi a small bottle of this costs around P150. kaya dabbed lang para hindi sayang. ;D
