Which kit would you like to candy paint? Share with me!
Currently working on a sazabi ver ka commission 😭
@@jieqiiii Nice! What color and finish?
@@frostedsnow candy red with gold base! I'm a bit concerned about achieving the same bright orangey red consistency over such a big kit 😂
@@jieqiiii Nice! Love the red on gold base. It's definitely one of the challenges! I kept my eye on that a lot as I painted mine too.
SDCS Nightingale!
That is a genius level over 9000 idea, cutting the runner ID letter/number to keep your clips organized
Yeah! and I can pull those little numbers out and put them with the parts during assembly.
gloss coating the matt primer totally works prior to the metallics.
your tutorials are my favorite. Compulsive simple yet so complex
Impulse bought a MGSD barbatos after being away from Gunpla building for over 6 years. Found your channel and now I really want to get back into painting and trying your techniques. Didn’t have an informative channel like yours back then so I’m excited to try marbling and different stuff you talk about.
The hardest thing to me about painting kits is actually putting them back together. I dotn know how you guys memorize the builds or pieces when the iternals for like MG looks so similar
Few things:
1) I have found with chrome paints you can use any color as an undercoat as long as it is a gloss finish, the lighter the color the brighter the chrome is.
2) There is a difference between clear and true candy paints. True candy paints are completely clear as they are an ink base so once you get to the color of the ink it doesn't any darker. The majority of clear paints are slightly opaque so the more you put on the more solid the color and less of the base coat shows through.
For candy paints I use Createx Colors Candy2o as they get mixed with the clear coat. Also Createx ULVS clear coats block UV rays to protect the paints. Createx also makes various colors of surfacer and are a gloss finish so you can reduce the number of paint layers.
Thank you so much for the clear and easy to understand tutorial.
Great painting tips as always!!
You put out some really great content and knowledge- thanks!
My pleasure!
I'm just recently getting back into gunpla, more specifically, beginning to paint and detail and this page was exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the great work!
Glad I could help!
Your descriptions and explanations are top notch. Thank you from a complete noob to Gunpla!
Glad it helps!
Thanks for the tutorial!! Easy to follow!!
Glad it was helpful!
i love you frosted snow!
Great vid! This reminds me a lot of using zenithal highlights and glazing with Warhammer minis.
Wow how do you not have 100k subs yet. This content is amazing!.
What a compliment. Please share with your friends and the community :)
I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the clear step by step explanation. Good job!
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for the video, I am now your 819 subs 😎👍🏼 keep them coming!
I have a feeling you were on a binge watch of my videos -- thank you for leaving a comment everywhere and for 819th!
thanks for the tutorial.....amazing work :)
- will be sharing this to my friends :)
You are welcome and too awesome!! Thanks for sharing :)
@@frostedsnow no problem :)
I hope to apply these techniques to painting Warhammer figurines! thanks for the content
Awesome. Would be interesting to see. Have fun!
Nice simple explanation on doing candy paint. Would like to see your way to do pre-shading especially on white parts/paint on your next video. Some tutorials here in TH-cam were kind of confusing, tbh.
Thanks! Will include a preshading tutorial eventually :) I did show some white pre-shading in the completed Blue Frame video.
Barbatos!! Nice!!
Great video! I’ll have to give candy paint another go after my first attempt went a little sideways on me and I never finished the kit bc of that.
Practice makes perfect! Hope you get to give it a go again :)
very thorough explanations. thanks!
You're welcome!
@@frostedsnow why do you use surfacer instead of a primer?
Id really love to see a candy painted yellow kit. Yellow is sooooo difficult!
Thanks for the well structured video and very detailed explanation :D Hoping to see your guide to choosing air brush (beginner/intermediate alike).
Thanks for the feedback and suggestion! I do share what airbrush I'm using in my Spray Booth video :) Maybe can talk more about the specifics of it in the future.
@@frostedsnow yep watched that one and appreciate the booth setup :D I was just wondering if there could be video explaining how to start getting into airbrush. I see all those nozzles size, maintenance etc and it feels overwhelming xD
hey just found your channel, great content! its interesting how you prefer candy paint to be light colored, I usually don't find candy painting dark enough and I spray the clear color at high pressure, close distance, to get a super rich blue/red/green
Welcome! It's all personal preference. I like it light for more of that translucency XD
great sweater
Thank you very much.
You're a master
Interesting preshade technique
great video! I used candy on my first ever custom gunpla. I got so impatient doin the layers I just blasted my pieces haha
Thanks! Totally understandable. I was tempted to do that tbh.
@@frostedsnow we have a ton of patience as builders but sometimes I rush through the process. perhaps that is why it takes 10 years to be masters haha
Awesome video! It's very informative for someone like me who is just starting out in the world of airbrushing. When pooling accidentally occurs, what recovery steps do you take? Does this involve removing the paint and starting over at step 1 with the individual part?
Glad it was helpful! You can't remove the paint by dipping it in thinner if that's what you mean. It'll melt the whole part. you can sand it down with whatever you got (stick or sponge) to even the part out again and repaint.
Great Video, I wish IPP would sell their product world wide. They have some unique colors that are unmatched. Like that Clear Blue.
Gaia is great too!
@@frostedsnow Gaia is the best ,it's my go to paint.
I would love to see the Moon Gundam done. It has the potential to look awesome because of how beautiful our moon realy looks
Nice idea :) It'd look pretty cool.
Nice video, for candy layering , can hair dryer be use (low heat) at a distance to quickly dry each layer to shorten the curing time of each layer.
Hey frostedsnow, sorry for bothering you but i'd like to ask, should we always use gloss top coat over metallic color paint? What will it turns out if we use matte top coat? And which one is actually the best? Thankyou before. Love your detailed and to-the-point explanations from you 😄
Nice tutorial! Was looking forward to how it would look assembled tho 😅
Got the full build video on that
Youre awesome!
Aw, no way!
This would look so killer on some pre-heresy alpha marines.
Hi, nice video tutorial. I want to ask 2 questions :
1. how high was the wind pressure ? (Psi or bar)
2. How long was the time gap in between steps ? (Step 1 to step 2 and so on)
your english is very good , nice to follow you up , i'm trying to study coloring candy tone , tks for new technic and am try to get you vlog more, thanks
Thanks! and cuz of your comment, I'm gonna add at least a little vlog piece into every video possible!!
@@frostedsnow how about the old one like TheO , I think he's a beautiful one
do you have to use the Mr. Leveling thinner to get the clear coat an even surface?
nice
I have a strange question.
Have you ever used candy paint as a base stage before using more beginner techniques, such as deeper shading in the crevices and doing edge highlights, maybe some rust and chipping as well?
I don't even know if that would work together, but what I'm thinking is to have something really glossed, but also really aged.
Is that a skech art print on the desk? I like that scene
Oh! It's actually a puzzle :)
What kind of topcoat work better with mr color metallic gx
how long do you have to wait the paint to dry before painting the next colour?
Are you using acrylic mettalic or laquer?
This could be a stupid question, for regular paints you add white to get a lighter version of the color, how do you do that with transparent colors, there is no transparent white and black?
Great tutorial! How do you panel line painted parts? I use acrylics as enamel paint for airbrushes is harder to get in the US.
Hard to answer without knowing much! Do you mean re-scribe the panel line or add panel line accent? I'm also not sure what kind of paint job you did... if you are using only acrylic, the only thing you can do to fill in the panel lines would be a wash... that'd be a more weathered look.
@@frostedsnow I meant add panel line accent over a part painted with acrylic. I LOVE your work!
Will you be making a full video on just hand painting a kit that's not on just small parts? No one has any videos on it besides small detail hand painting.
Probably cus it's less popular cuz you don't get super smooth results. I might in the future, but it won't compare to an airbrush on large surfaces!
How much time have to wait betwen layers?
Hi enjoyed your video. Would this type of paint be good for iron man model? And if so which brand of clear coat candy would you use. Hopefully amazon carries it so i can order it iam from the united states.
How long would you recommend before painting another color?
What ratio to mix gloss top coat
Does anyone know if there's any difference between a clear color paint like the one in the video and just... thinned acrylics?
the name comes form Candy apples (or toffee apples in english !) deep red candy over pale apple
😍
When you say surfacer, is that the same as regular primer? I always thought surfacer was a paint liner designed to be sanded. Thank you!!
Yes. In Korea, it's almost all called surfacer on the product packaging.
Love your painting...I want to ask...what is ipp? Is that brand or what?
Korean lacquer hobby paint brand
@@frostedsnow oh...I see.... Thank you for sharing
Hi just wanna ask im not really into airbrush yet and im currently into spraycans can i ask how to achieve chrome gold effect on spraycans?
Chrome is hard to achieve even w airbrush.. usually with urethane. Just go for a silver spraycan
Hye, may i know How long does it take for surfacer and each layer of lacquer dry before the you proceed to the next layer?
I'm not fussy, tbh I sometimes spray 2 layers at once, then once you've taken 20 mins to sprayed all the parts, go back to the first piece and spray the next 2 layers, you can finish in 2 rounds. Lacquer dries fast.
this girl have some real stuff
XDD
I would love to see the result.. 👍
Will be posting that too for sure :)
Curious, what ratio did you thin your gaia clear blue? And what psi do you usually spray at?
1 paint to 1.5-1.7 thinner. 25 ish psi.
Will it have shading effect if you spray corner with a darker silver then use clear paint?
Better spray w a dark color like gloss black
curioventura has a vid up where he used a metallic gold as a base and gunmetal as a shader for the corners before putting up a final coat of a clear red over the whole thing. gave it the shading effect you might be talking about.
@@frostedsnow Ever try using a smoke paint to hit the areas you want to shadow?
Hi great tutorial one question how much do you thin metallic paint compare to normal paint (more or less than normal?) my metallic paint looks very mat after spraying.
Paints of the same brand usually don't call for a different thinning ratio for metallics. I thin it as I do normal colors (within the same brand). Is your base color gloss? Most people us a gloss black. If your base is matte, your metallic will come out more matte too.
There are many factors that effect the glossy look on metallic. My recommendation is to start from the surfacer that you use. Example: Mr. Surfacer 1500 Black + Mr. Color Ueno Black will still be less glossy than Koong’s LGB-101 Black Gloss. Next factor is how you spray the black gloss. Try to spray thinly first and then finish the spray with a big blast (need practice). After that, you can spray some thinner also to make it glossy. Wait a few hours depending on the paint you use. Then start using the metallic base. (Chrome/silver). Oh, and Just in case: you need to shake the paint bottle before you put it into airbrush. New bottles of paint need to be stirred properly. Especially metallic paints, the metallic particles tends to make a gunk at the bottom. As for the ratio, I use 1:2; just like any other paint. Sorry if it’s too long, I’ll stop now.
Thanks for the details!
Great Sweater
Will the paint job get scratched off when you bend the arm joints? Want to try painting Astrays but im scared of the paint job getting scratched off when posing
It might and does scratch at some parts
I bought alligator clips with some plastic base, but literally nothing beats styrofoam or hard foam for sticking your clips into
Agreed! Hard foam is the best :) and probably cheaper than plastic too?
Another alternative is the cat scratching board, it also serve as painting base
Hi Frostshow, I actually used candy red on my psycho zaku, i do have a few questions if you don't mind, first, when you use the trigger on the air brush, how do you control the wideness of the spray? also, if i don't want the surface to be super glossy, which clear coat should i use? Can I send you a pic of the psycho zaku i did and you give me some your opinion?
The wideness of the spray depends on so many things, but basically control it so your end result is not too dotty/rough or pooling. Maybe you can try semi-gloss top coat?
@@frostedsnow after you cut out all the part, how do you remeber which part do u belong to after u paint on it?
Quick newbie question frosted snow, whats the amount of PSI you regularly use ?
We keep it at 25 for everything
Hi, I am doing my first custom gundam.
On 9:30
How did you do to make the bubbles on the cup? I have the same airbrush, and even in the manual say if you turn the tip 1 mm you get bubbles on the cup, i try it and nothing happens.
Just loosen the nozle a bit, more if it's not working at first
@@frostedsnow i finally made it, you need to almost take off the nozle, haha.
If you have time can you answer me this? I got problems with masking tape, when I use it and take off, the paint below the tape looks blurry, is anything you can advise me?
Did you sand the parts before surfacer?
Not this kit
Actually if people want to skip the polishing process, one easy way is to use urethane paint, which the bling will stay there after drying
Hard to procure Korean urethane paints outside of korea
Well there's not only korea brand that you can use, taobao have alot of different brands you can use
What kind of surfacer 2 and gloss black 3?
Brands should be listed in video
Hi Sharon
May I ask what is the mix ratio for the gloss coat?
Alvin
Whatever your bottle says. IPP was 1:1.5 paint to thinner
@@frostedsnow alright noted!!!
Thank you very much Sharon!!!~~~
Can I use mr surfacer 1500 black in handbrush
Handbrushing pre-thinned lacquer paint will be very drippy and prob leave stroke marks.
i am getting Wing Gundam Zero {EW} [Ver.Ka] (MG) what paint should i get for it ?
the manual provides paint names
What u using for surfacer, I’m a beginner here thank you,
should be listed in video
Do I need to thinner the surfacer
Yes
Awesome video. Will try on miniatures. Thanks for the video.
Have fun!
Can we use a normal paint brush and just dip the brush to the paint and paint it??
Won't be as smooth
@@frostedsnow ok thx
What psi ar u set to?? I am doing mg sinjanu ova. Using metal for all frame and weapon, then candy apple red for armor. So i'm spraying black on EVERYTHING before any metal/candy color goes on...
I feel stupid cuz i used gaia 002 black on my weapons and shield then realize i should have went for ex02 which is a lot more glossy...
Kughee and I never change our PSI. We keep it at 25. Shinanju is such a great kit to do candy paint. No need to feel stupid at all! The black surfacer I used at first turned out to be matte too. Tbh, it was just a very small difference between if you sprayed metallic on a matte or gloss black -- some people don't spray black at all! I've made and will continue to make loads of mistakes. Just take it as a learning experience and keep it in mind for next time. I don't like to stress over gunpla mistakes, cuz having fun is how you stay in the hobby, and that's how you improve!
@@frostedsnow but i was told how your metalic color shines depends on how shiny your black is.
I'm trying to figure out my psi because i notice my paint was going way faster than its suppose to, then i realized i was at around 36, lol
@@TCTheGreat I usually stick to the standard gloss black, but I've seen otherwise too! Kughee uses a white base for his metallic when he wants it with a brighter hue/tone. What I mean though, is I wouldn't go over all those pieces again, but apply what you learned in your next kit :) but oc, it's all up to you!
Oh man, 36 is super high!
@@frostedsnow yea, i won't go over everything again, maybe just the armor pieces.
And ya, i just thot it was crazy how fast i was burning thru my paint, lol
Is the same transparent color with clear color??
?? All paints listed in vid
Can you do a separate pre shading tutorial in the future? :)
On the to-do list!
@@frostedsnowcan't wait! Thank you very much! Xo
Sadece plastikmi boyanıyor metali boyayamazmıyız bu boyayla
What is IPP mean? Where can I get it? What kind of paint is it?
Lacquer paint mostly sold in Korea
damn.. i dont understand why but my transparent colors are splattering i did some analogue testing on a spoon with a light coat and instead of a good even layer it comes with tiny lil spots..
Is your airbrush needle a bit blocked? Try giving it a good deep clean by taking the whole thing apart :)
What are the little grips called? I
"Alligator clips" maybe is what you mean?
@@frostedsnow ok thank you. Because I just bought the Full Armor Unicorn Gundam (destroy mode) and I saw the green energized parts. I was inspired me to make it in custom Green Lantern style Gundam.
Nice! Airbrushing? Have fun!
A few questions:
1: Any tips for spray painters?
2: Do you have experience kitbashing, because I was wondering if you hand any advice on the matter. I want to kitbash the Transient Gundam with the Gundam 00 Shia Qant and I've been trying to research easy ways to modify shoulders so that I can attach the Transient's right shoulder to the Qant's torso without much luck.
Hey there! I haven't had a chance to try either yet.
Are you Luna's Journey?
Amazing job and awesome video thank you so much and if i can sub for another 1000 times i will thank you again 🙂
Wow, thanks so much! I'm grateful even for your 1 sub :)
Can I make candy paint in handbrush
Yes but small parts only or not smooth
What kind of gloss do I need
I use mr paint and what kind of chrome these it work with Mr black gloss
Can you please do a TH-cam video on how to make candy paint in handbrunch
Why do I need to do candy paint with hand brush what kind of paint
This time "candy" , not "cookie"~ huh
Maybe I can be candy and he can be cookie haha
No offense but your paintjob looks patchy/blobby.
That's call pre shading
