This is such a great source of information! While I've only painted a single blaster (Rival Pilot) one of the things that really catches my eye & gives me that "wow" factor is when the blaster is painted in layers. Meaning if section A and section C are on the same level but separated by section B they really like a cohesive construction if painted the same color. Obviously like with all art there are exceptions to the rules and different tastes. Love your work & thanks for the video!

Alcohol-based metallic paints tend to perform better in my experience. I like the Vallejo Liquid Gold series. Brushes will last a lot longer if you don't get paint in the ferrules.

Definitely looks good I’ll have to give this stuff a try in the future I tend to use rub n buff for my weathering if there’s any at all in that regard but these might turn out better 😅

The next episode will be weathering! And I do use a lil rub n buff! But yea dude it's easier than you think!
