I love that you show that there could be errors, like when you showed what happens when the paint gets rough. Happens to me all the time and I never hear anyone saying how to fix it.
I constantly make mistake, and I never shy away from showing my mistakes. It might be a bad presentation, but I thought it would be informative if people knew how to fix or what to look out for.
I am very thankful for your comment! I try to keep my videos short and concise since I know people just want the information rather than a long explanation. However, do let me know if 1. Some part in the video was hard to see 2. You want more explanation on something Or let me know if there's something you would like to see, and I'll see if I can make a video about it.
This is gonna come in real handy this summer. I’m planning on spray painting some hguc rx78-2’s since I’m not ready to use an airbrush yet (only built two gunpla’s and they’re both real grades. Turned out pretty well tho). I know this vid was uploaded months ago but thanks anyways
@@i.r.o.4456 alrighty! I’m mainly only worrying about brands now since it looks like the type of paint depends on the brand. Would all Tamiya work? Tamiya primer, spray paint, and clear coat. They’re all lacquer so the coats shouldn’t destroy each other right?
Is it possible to use it for shading white parts ? I will use airbrush for white color. Can i avoid second layer with grey color? just airbrush white parts on primer?
I noticed that there are a lot of different colors of primer. Does it matter which one I pick? I’m gonna paint an mg astray red frame soon. Only gonna be spraying over the red parts with a darker metallic red.
The primer does make a difference at a technical level. So in your case it would not matter so go ahead. Good luck! My only concern is that metallic paints tend to chip easier than most, so hobby a glossy surface or primer helps paint adhere to the surface better
Hi and thank you for the video! How many cans are necessary to prime an HG 1/144 kit? I assume that if you apply multiple coats, you end using a lot of paint!
Not necessarily. If you are planning to get a mirror finish paint job, then yes, you will have to sand and polish the surface before priming and painting. Most of time you wouldn’t need to.
does sand with 1000 grit acceptable or do i need to go further than that then u wash with water right no need soap or warm water after that spray again for final coat right?
Hi IRO, i would like to ask that after you finished priming gunpla, which color will you apply as base coat ? gloss black or silver ? because i'm planning to apply metalic red/purple on it and complete it with a flat clear finish. thank you!
hi, i'm planning to paint my gunpla kit but having a hard time choosing the primer. i'm mainly use mr hobby brand for my kit (that's the only brand sold in the store near me) and i saw a lot of types like mr surfacer 1000 or 1500, mr primer surfacer 1000, mr finishing surfacer. so which one should i get before i start painting? ps: i'm going to use mr color spray paint
Depending on how you finished the surface, it does vary. If you sanded the surface with 1000 or less, then surfacer 1000 is recommended as it would fill in any scratches you’ve made with sanding. 1500 is recommended if you haven’t sanded the surface or sanded the surface with more than 1000 grit. In my opinion however, the change is almost unnoticeable unless you have really keen attention to detail. So anything works
@@i.r.o.4456 thank you. this is the answer i'm looking for. you clear the part about sanding before apply the surfacer. i'm was curious what will happen to those sanding mark when apply the surfacer. so now i can stop sanding at 1000grit and continue with the mr surfacer 1000. oh, is there a different between surfacer and primer? all i know is they both use before we start to paint. mr hobby also had that come in both which is mr primer surfacer
Honestly both primer and surfacer are similar in what they do. Surfacer is more for seeing scratches and mistakes as well as priming, where as primers can act similarly but used more for priming.
Primer ultimately does two things. To see mistakes in the surface and to allow paints to adhere to the surface better. However, in my opinion you would not need primer to paint models if you are using hobby paints and now arts and crafts paints. Hobby paint sticks to the surface exceptionally well where as other paints tend to chip off easily. If you are painting without primer though, then I recommend cleaning the parts with dish soap since any dirt or residue on the surface might interferes with the painting process. Good luck and let me know if anything g goes wrong or any other question you might have!

I have functionally zero attention span for videos, so a 2 minute video with no fluff is pretty much perfect. Learned a lot. Thanks!
Will try to upload more videos like this, but thanks for watching
Thank you so much. Someone who knows what they’re talking about and isn’t going to waste 10 minutes of my time with their life story(cough zaku cough)
I know people don’t have time, so glad I didn’t waste yours
Nice. Very plain and very helpful especially for beginners like me. No over stretching of things and terms and just go through the process.

Thank you for the very straightforward and super helpful video! I was intimidated before priming , but your video helped 😇🙏🏻
Glad it helped! Don’t be intimidated and always be brave to take steps. Good luck!
You're so underrated bro, these videos are good quality & pretty helpful. Keep uploading these videos man. Your channel deserve to be blown up🔥
You are too kind, and thank you for your comment
I.R.O. Just keep pushing bro. Hard work does paid off!
This answer my curiousity to orange peel texture, thanks dude !
I hope it helped!

Other than Tamiya’s acrylic range which is provided in bottles, everything else is lacquer so they wouldn’t each other for sure!
Man stumbled on this video at right Time. Thanks... definitely subscribed
Thank you! And hopefully your project will go smoothely
incredibly helpful for a gundam noob that wants to expand into painting
And you’ll become a pro modeler in no time! The most important skill is to have patience, so good luck!
@@i.r.o.4456 I am what are they? Just finished using Mr. Surfer for the first time and I'm already happy without turning out!
Excellent!
Great video! Super cool avatar. Thank you
Thank you for your kind comment!

I believe so. Let me know if I’m wrong, but I think it is possible

Hi and thank you for the video! How many cans are necessary to prime an HG 1/144 kit? I assume that if you apply multiple coats, you end using a lot of paint!
If it’s a big can then only one. Small one would be two. Even with two coats the can holds pretty well to cover an HG kit
@@i.r.o.4456 thank you!
Do I have to sand my gunpla parts before priming.
Not necessarily.
If you are planning to get a mirror finish paint job, then yes, you will have to sand and polish the surface before priming and painting.
Most of time you wouldn’t need to.
Might I ask what kind of mask is suitable for this? And also are the sticks needed for surface priming?
I prefer tamiya masking tapes, but any hobby masking tapes are fine. The sticks aren’t necessary, but they do help hold the parts for spraying
forgot to dip the can in warm water to make the particles finer :))))
Oh forgot about that part!
does sand with 1000 grit acceptable or do i need to go further than that then u wash with water right no need soap or warm water after that spray again for final coat right?
You can sand with 1000 grit, and just wash off any dust and garbages
is primer really necessary im planning to build my first modelkit Moderoid Rayearth
Not necessarily. I use primer just in case, but if the paints have good adherence to the surface, then it isn’t necessary to put on a primer
Hi IRO, i would like to ask that after you finished priming gunpla, which color will you apply as base coat ? gloss black or silver ? because i'm planning to apply metalic red/purple on it and complete it with a flat clear finish. thank you!
In my experience, I would use gloss black whenever I apply any metallic colors on top
Hope that helps!

@@i.r.o.4456 thanks again for the answer! just bought a couple of spray paint colour. can't wait for this weekend!
Excited to hear how it goes, and good luck!
in American, *the fuck is a centimeter*
1/2.54” or 0.394 in.
This look like a wate of primer paint using a can
Both can and airbrush are useful for priming
Can I just spray it without primer? I'm tired of hearing every video I see say "primer, primer, primer"
Primer ultimately does two things. To see mistakes in the surface and to allow paints to adhere to the surface better.
However, in my opinion you would not need primer to paint models if you are using hobby paints and now arts and crafts paints. Hobby paint sticks to the surface exceptionally well where as other paints tend to chip off easily.
