The Complete Guide to Brush Paint Your Gunpla - Featuring MG Gouf 2.0

[@MidnightHatter]

As the proud owner of the worst ratio'd Gunpla handpainting video on KZbin, I must say, great work my friend! I wish this video existed when I started handpainting! I'd love to have you on my show to talk Gunpla sometime!

[@TeaandGunpla]

Thank you! I will absolutely check out your channel then and maybe we could have a chat

[@Tarot.of.Cups69]

I also hand painted model kits when a child. They didnt have airbrush in my day. Won awards. Im now 60 years old and still hand brush my models. Cant wait to do my gunpla and armored core kits. I recommend watching people on KZbin paint, it really gives good ideas. Ideas i had to learn long before internet and KZbin. Trial and error. And there was not even half the stuff they have today. Watch people paint WW2 Models for weathering ideas. Enjoy people and make your kit your own. Paint it.

Should start a old school tutorial videos ✌🏽

[@Tarot.of.Cups69]

@diegobearriver nahhh everyone knows all the tricks now. Only thing I could teach is how to save money by not buying everything at the hobby store for supplies. Why pay 40 dollars for a dry brush when a woman makeup brush from the dollar store for 4 dollars is just the same.

[@lordsmyty]

I appreciate the hell out of your commentary during the video. Great humor lol

[@steeeee]

Always nice to see someone brush paint. I choose brush over air for various reasons. I find I have to ‘learn’ each colour as the amount of dilution and number of coats for a good finish varies

[@TeaandGunpla]

It’s a more relaxing way to paint for me, airbrushing is a bit less “personal”. I agree on what you’re saying about learning the colors. That’s where the sp00n really becomes an essential tool.

[@steeeee]

Wow the algorithm actually doing good work for once! This is exactly the stuff I’m looking for. At my current place I’m unable to airbrush but past forays into brushing have left me disappointed. Currently I’ve got a backlog and really considering just straight building with light panel lining. The perfectionist in me wants these kit to look their absolute best so I really really want to paint them, I’m just really hesitant man.

[@TeaandGunpla]

Thanks! I’m the same, I love to have the best result I can! Unfortunately I just can’t paint everything, there’s not enough time. But I try to have at least the inner frame done which already makes the model look so much better.

[@Eteric]

Hey friend, great guide! Another method you can use is painting with makeup sponges. It gives you a really, really nice finish that is very close if not comparable to airbrush. There's a fellow on youtube that used to do it called "Healing-Pla," though he's not been posting videos as of late. I've been testing it on spoons and it's really nice. I use a combination of brushes and sponges now a days.

[@TeaandGunpla]

Thank you so much. I’ve been intrigued by the sponge painting, tbh. It’s totally something I want to try as soon as I have some time, which is not a lot lately!

[@TheSpongyMallard]

You can use painters tape to mask the areas you don't want to be painted to get crips lines. I only painted one of my kits and only had a spray paint that was safe for plastic that wasn't hobby paint. It turned out great, but you have to spray very very light and be about a foot away from it.

[@TeaandGunpla]

With acrylic colors there is the risk of chipping the paint while removing the tape. So it’s a bit risky!

I did some experimenting and you can use a nail polish top coat to top coat your kits! And it brings out the paint even more! You don’t need to spend big money on top coat. I understand people will probably say otherwise but you need to try it

[@TeaandGunpla]

You can absolutely use Vallejo colors and varnishes. Vallejo acrylics work exactly the same. They are just a bit more thick than SM, so you should thin them a bit more. Maybe do some testing on spoons until you find the right mix

Glad you liked the video. The Gundam MkII is one of my favourite designs ever, like almost all the ones from Z Gundam! I hope it will turn out perfect. What would you like to know? To paint white you just need a white primer and a lot, a lot of coatings! But if you have any question feel free to ask, if I make a video about it wont be very soon unfortunately.

[@serg810]

@@TeaandGunpla Thank you. I myself really like UC timeline MS designs and the MKII is a solid design. I like how bulky and almost like a Grunt Suit it looks. Usually when I paint white, like when I started working on my HG Revive RX 78, I sprayed surface primer Gray on it and applied multiple layers of white. I felt like I used too many layers and sort of clogged up the details and looked too thick. Should I have instead used White Primer instead of Surface Primer?

[@TeaandGunpla]

I totally agree, once I progress with my backlog I’ll totally get one too

[@TeaandGunpla]

I’m so sorry, for some reasons I missed the second part of your comment! I think you made 2 mistakes. The first is not using white primer. Make sure you spray only a thin layer. Then you will need less white color coatings to get your result, and everything will be smoother Make sure your color is nicely thinned , which will help with preserving the details

[@TeaandGunpla]

Metallic paints are a bit tricky and I’ll sure make an in depth video about them in the future. Tips I can give are: make sure you’re using a black primer, the first coat should be almost a dry brushing, the second coat onwards should be regular and nicely thinned. Practice is the best advice I can give tho :)

the sanding is optional if you get a good primer it will stick. unless the plastic have mould release

i subscribed as soon as i saw your vid on instinct while searching for brush painting.. queeestion, can i use my fine tip pen marker over the gloss coat for panel lining?

[@TeaandGunpla]

Thanks for subbing! Honestly, I never used the pen on the acrylic coat, but I’m pretty sure that the chemicals you’ll need to clean up would mess up both coat and paint. If you don’t want to use an acrylic filler/wash and clean it with water, I would suggest to just use a spray gloss topcoat, like the one from Mr. Hobby

[@Amy_CoolShark]

Do you have any advice for brush-painting very bright colours like white or offwhite? I've been using offwhite for a project myself and I find that brush marks are a lot more apparent when using that colour compared to others

[@TeaandGunpla]

Unfortunately white is a pain, it’s probably the hardest color to paint. My suggestion is to apply a lot of really thin layers to minimize the strokes. It’s easy to get fed up and start using too much paint trying to get coverage. You should also know that it will probably still look a bit patchy at the end, but once you spray a flat topcoat is gonna be alright. Maybe do a test on a spoon if you don’t feel confident

[@Amy_CoolShark]

@TeaandGunpla thank you so much! I'll try that in future

[@TeaandGunpla]

I forgot to add that you should make sure you’re using a white primer! Pretty obvious, but sill worth mentioning

[@VelenZaiga]

@@Amy_CoolShark I can doubly confirm what Tea said. I've tried to handpaint white on parts before using Gundam Marker. *it does not work very well on the first go.* This is because white is the brightest general color you can have, so anything of the original color showing through will stick out like a sore thumb. You just need to be patient with it.

[@matthewbrookeart]

Is the black filler a specific type of paint ? It doesn’t seem like any other brands do it

[@TeaandGunpla]

You can find similar products for almost any brand. Some example are the Vallejo black wash or the High Flow line by Golden. The name is different, but they are all acrylics inks, at the end.

[@albertolunghi4947]

Your tutorial is great, Sir, as I'm mainly a Gunpla brush painter as well, but, if I can, I try to avoid using primers as they are an added layer of paint that can somehow hide details. Not always possible, of course. If you don't mind, may I ask you why you applied a layer of gloss coating instead of a matte one, please? Shouldn't you have used a matte one, as you ended the painting by spraying a matte topcoat?🤔🤔🤔 Thank you in advance for your answer.

[@TeaandGunpla]

Thank you! I would suggest to always use the primer for a couple of reasons. It gives a good base for the color to stick on, with time it’s easier for the paint to get ruined without. Also you will need less coatings to get your color even. The primer should anyway be nicely thinned and applied carefully to not cover all those nice details :) Regarding the gloss coat, it’s mainly because of the panel lining. The gloss creates a smooth surface, while the matte a rough one. Cleaning a smooth surface is way easier! With a matte coating there’s the risk of leaving a black/grey shadow or worst. It also does not really change the final texture of the matte topcoat. I hope I’ve been clear enough and let me know if you have more questions!

[@TeaandGunpla]

Thank you for watching! Unfortunately you can’t use an enamel panel liner like the Tamiya. Water will not clean it at all and the cleaner (or other products like lighter fluid) will ruin both the gloss coating and the paint. The acrylic black filler/wash is the best and safest option

[@badluk6]

⁠@@TeaandGunplaThank you! I don’t have access to the brand you used. What product would you recommend to get the same effect (for the gloss coat and acrylic black filler)?

Thank you! The paint’s brand is SM (Sheik Mainland). It’s a Chinese brand that you find on AliExpress. I usually use a 7mm and 10mm pointy brushes and a 8mm flat brush. If I need to detail really small parts I use a 5mm thin tip

THANK YOU

[@TeaandGunpla]

Hola! Simple answer: you shouldn’t use Tamiya Panel Liner or any other panel liner that’s not acrylic. The liner is not the issue, the issue is cleaning it. Zippo fluid will melt the acrylic coating and leave smudges. Same for the Mr. Color Thinner. I can’t be sure about the others product but I wouldn’t risk ruining a model. The acrylic wash/filler can be cleaned with water and it’s 100% the safest option.

Just want to confirm, does the topcoat from sheikmainland protect the paint while doing the panel line?

[@TeaandGunpla]

It will protect the paint only from an acrylic filler/wash cleaned with water. If you use Tamiya panel liner or Mr. Weathering Color, for example, the chemicals you will you need to use to clean up will totally ruin both the coating and the paint.

Question, if I want to make like a pattern or a shape on top of a surface without using the panel lines as a guide, lets say those caution stripes on those construction machines, is it fine if I use Masking Tapes? Or would that be bad because it could possibly bleed into it? Is there a better way?

[@TeaandGunpla]

If you apply the tape correctly it won’t bleed in, but you can have two main issues: The first is that your design will be higher then the rest of the paint, literally being tridimensional. Especially if you’re using light paints like yellow that needs a lot of coats. The second is that you risk to chip the paint once you remove the tape. You have to think about your paint layers as a thin sheet of ice, it doesn’t break in a straight line. So you need to be very careful. At the end it’s possible, but really risky. If you’re planning to do simple design like the stripes I would suggest to scribe them lightly.

[@prometheus1815]

@@TeaandGunpla then I guess Ill scribe it first, and then cut tape it according to the scribed lines? Hopefully the excess paint would go into the recessed lines instead of under the tape. And how can I avoid the paint from forming a noticable bump between the stripes? Sanding?

I would just skip the tape. The scribed lines should be enough to give a clean separation between the colors. Also the level difference shouldn’t be noticeable with some space in between

[@TeaandGunpla]

Thank you! The times really varies depending on the paint and how much is applied. Making really thin coats it usually take less than a minute to be ready. After I finish a coat I start another piece and, by the time I’m done with it, the first is ready for the next layer. Anyway, just look at the paint, if it’s not shiny anymore you can proceed with painting again.

I got the metallic paint but it was ugly and uneven, normal one are smooth but i can't get metallic to look like it, any idea on how to fix it?

[@OVRESY]

Is there a specific paint type? I have access to hobby lobby and Michael’s and it’s mostly those small bottles of acrylic paint

[@TeaandGunpla]

There isn’t a specific brand that you need to use. They all come down to your preference. Any acrylic will work, if thinned properly. Some will give you better results, of course. I would suggest to start with what you have available near you and to order better ones online in case you’re really unsatisfied

[@Sai1523]

In all the paint videos I've watched this is the first time I'm seeing mention of painting in the opposite direction on every layer. What's the reasoning behind it? I usually just keep going the same direction.

[@TeaandGunpla]

It helps when using really thinned paint. Being the color so liquid it has less grip and the risk of it being applied unevenly is higher. Using a cross pattern helps making the surface slightly more rough. Also it helps in evening out any streak marks: instead of accentuating them with passing over in the same direction, going the other way will kinda flatten them.

That is a common issue and it’s not so easy to solve. The best thing is to be extremely careful when handling a painted model. You should also assemble it before painting and check where friction happens. Then you can try two things: sand down the inside of the part, trying to create a gap to eliminate the friction. Or you could also some masking tape on the inside (of the skirt in this case).

Im not an airbrush user. Cant aford it. And i get better control hand painting and not having to spend tons of time masking. Not a fan of masking as paint bleeds under tape. I will say this. Buy a can spray primer and primer it that way. So much faster and a more even coat. I use white for bright colours and darker for dark. Learned that in art school, what ever is underneath the paint as a palet changes other colour on top. No need to buy expensive dry brush brushes just go to a dollar store and buy womens makeup brushes way cheaper. Buddy at hobby store wanted $50 for one dry brush. I paid $2 dollars for 5 different sizes in a women cosmetic kit... Just some ideas. And also womens nail sanding pads are cheaper.
