Thank you so much for this. I'm in US and I think I'm the only one I know who uses mr.color and Gaia notes. Do you do 2.5 thinner -GAIANOTES? The shin musha in my profile was GAIANOTES. I can translate to Japanese if you need? Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for your comments. Is not Gaianotes used much in the United States? I usually use 2.0 to 2.3 times the dilution. You can leave it in English. However, although I can read English, I can not talk, so I am sorry if I made a mistake.

tak s Nobody I know uses mr.color or gaianotes in the US so it's been a tough learning experience! All we have is enamel and acrylics (Vallejo). Lacquer is so much better and easier to use compared to what US offers. You cannot buy mr.color or GAIANOTES in US Japan will not allow this so I buy from SealModel in HongKong. Ok I will try 2.3 mix ratio!! Please respond in Japanese if it's easier for you to communicate, and I can translate! Thank you TTYL
tak s Vallejo is biggest acrylic brand in USA I have Vallejo model air set (airbrush type) and colors are great, but..... TIP DRY happens every 30seconds! It is not fun when u are wiping the needle to get dried paint off! But amazing for hand painting. Model Master enamels are very popular in the states and a little better quality than tamiya enamels. I hate thinning and cleaning enamels you are correct they are more difficult to use, I only use them for reverse washes. If you can get ALCLAD the Metallics are pre thinned and are lacquers I think better than GAIANOTES silver plate and can be masked!

Tak S I'm sorry if I'm writing too much! ;( I wanted to share a mistake I made that turned out amazing. If you can find "Alclad" they have a clear gloss Coat that is pre-thinned enamel out of the bottle. My mistake was 1. Alclad clear coat first it sprays great straight from bottle. 2. Then Mr.GX super clear III I was amazed it turns out like urethane like the finishers you used on 1/100 Lupus without any sanding or polishing! The blacks on my Shin Musha are done in that technique without any sanding of the clear. I also have the Iwata hp-th like you have and I love it!!

Is it possible to use this technique with paint aswell....if so how long does it last. Also what mix ratios do you use

I basically use paint at 1: 1 as I mentioned in this movie with Creos and Gaia Notes paint. However, because there is a slight difference depending on the type of paint, we will make fine adjustments each time. I can not explain well because the sense of fine adjustment includes elements of "familiarity". If it is "DP bottle" being used in the movie, it can be stored in usable state for several months so that frequently used paint is kept in diluted state in many cases. Of course, the solvent volatilizes, so before actually painting it, try painting and make fine adjustments.

Lacquer paint is the main country because there are few. It is hard to get if it is outside the Asian region including Japan. It is easy to use but is not permeating because there are many harmful components? What? May your model life be fun!
TAK I NEED HELP!!! ok so I have all the GAIANOTES paint they offer and all mr.color...... My issue is I cannot find color conversion charts anywhere in USA!! In particular I'm looking for a conversion that includes Gaianotes/mr.color/Finishers.... Do you have a link or pdf I can't get from you?? You would save my life!!! Ahhhhhh now I needs all of the Finishers line because I'm a ridiculous addict to gunpla and paint!

mmm... I do not have a conversion chart. Colors that are on sale with the same name can be used with the same treatment Other than that, I judge it with my own eyes. In my case, it is almost impossible to paint Gundam with color as per the instruction manual Since we create approximate colors, we do not need a conversion chart. Most of the finishers are for the car model so if the color of the car is in your head I understand to some extent.
