FAQs

Look for paints specifically designed for plastic models, such as acrylic or enamel paints. Ensure they are compatible with the type of plastic used in Gunpla.

Essential tools include paintbrushes, an airbrush (optional), a palette, masking tape, and a good quality primer.

Common mistakes include not properly cleaning parts before painting, using the wrong type of paint, and applying paint too thickly, which can lead to drips and uneven surfaces.

To achieve a smooth finish, ensure you thin your paint appropriately, apply multiple thin layers instead of one thick coat, and allow adequate drying time between layers.
