How to Paint Gunpla the CHEAP Way | Spray Can Tutorial!

- So I started my Gunpla Journey 8ish years ago and at the time I was a broke college student. I’ve never been a huge fan of unpainted gunpla so I needed to find a way to do this on a budget. Thus I discovered that you can actually use regular hardware store spray cans to get the job done(inspired by vegeta8259 back in the day)! My goal as a content creator is to inspire people to get into painting/customizing kits, and one of the biggest hurdles is the investment of tools and paints. Hopefully this guide can help you get started on your painting journey at the very least!
Once you finish the video, let me know if this stuff helps you get started with painting gunpla!

I've used cans for priming Warhammer 40k, never painted. I've always painted by hand with them. Started gunpla a couple a months ago, and ima try it before I get into air brushing
not the way i recommend but i am heavily invested in airbrushing. Having said that you can get spectacular results with rattle cans as well. Key is Prepwork. The better prep and patience you put into a paint job the better results. Ive even seen some winners in comp with rattle can. Keep On Building!
Yeah you sure can get great results! I use a airbrush now but this is how I started years ago. I just figured its a good cheap way to get people into painting. Appreciate your comment man!
Its all about budget bro.not all of gunpla builder can't afford airbrush bro
@@user-el2mi8vu8j yeah which is why I said to do good prep work. You just got hung up on me saying I don't recommend rattle cans. It's like you read one sentence and stopped before commenting.
Great trick for even layers, after you spray it, if it's on a stick, spin or twist it like your starting a fire, the paint will spread and extra flicks off.
Good advice bro!
Why am I just now seeing this video. Lol good stuff, I’m changing the way I paint my kits due to lack of space and this was the first video that popped on my feed. Good stuff my brotha. 💪🏽
AYEEEE BETTER LATE THAT NEVER BROO!
I turned my gundam into a 64 impala with color shifting sparkly testor spray paint
Haha nice nice
thanks bro im broke af lol
I Gota make sure everybody eat bro 😁
I wanna paint the Johnny Ridden zaku high mobility type to the standard colors so badly!
Haha you should be able to pull it off!
Dope!
Thanks. Im completely new to painting gunpla. Do you always need to start with primer?
Hey! Honestly it depends if the paint says primerless but another thing about primer is that it influences the top coat so if you're wanting something bright like yellow, it won't work with gray or black primer. You would need white, yellow, or possibly pink primer/basecoat
How long did you wait for the primer to dry? I plan on painting my kit too
like a hour or two but since it's laquer it drys super quick
@@LiquidZero1 Do you know how to prevent dust and debris from sticking to the paint? Will drying it in some sorts of container or box work?
@@smartcraft6315 lol impossible to prevent dust but yeah you can try a box or a container.
Kinda sux that the spraycans you used aren't available here, but I plan to use hardware spraycans, I need to know if that'll be as effective
Ahh dang, what brands you got? Maybe I've used them in the past.
nice
Nice!
i dont plan on customizing / painting any of my gunpla. but a friend of mine gave me 2 old kits with blank colors. one is the rx 78-1 prototype mobile suit variation and the other one is a 1/220 byarlant rx-160. i have no experience in painting anything im kinda scared coz if i paint these 2 kits it would probably look like crap. lmao
Haha just give it a try bro! Once you start you won't want to stop.
What'd you use for your drying rack besides the wooden rods and clips?
Lol it's a catnip cat scratcher thing. It fits the alligator clip skewers pretty damn well.

@@LiquidZero1 cool, thanks!
How durable is the krylon stuff :0 im considering this way of painting cuz tamiya is just way to much for so little xD
It's strong, it can scratch off if you try really hard but that's any paint. Good luck with your journey!
W vid, saved me a shit ton of money from using airbrush
😁
Do spray cans from a Chinese bazaar work too? I can get them for $2 each, tho.
No clue about that brand man. Maybe you can try it on a spare piece?
@@LiquidZero1 Might try if it becomes my last resort, someone just told me that Citatel paints also work via brush when painting gunpla.
@@polvocorrupto Yup Citadel can work!
Do you need primer when painting Gunpla? Trying to get into it, and am tryna make sure I know everything before I actually commit to my first paint job.
Hey Man! It depends if the paint you're using is primer less or not. Otherwise yes you would need primer.
@@LiquidZero1 Ty man. Over the past, what, 20 hours I have come full circle and understand now that your gonna need primer almost always lol.
@@dominicstatuto8482 yuppp it also influences the coat that's on top of it as well but you probably found that out already
@@LiquidZero1 Yessir. Know more about paint now than I ever thought I would lol. Thanks for the help!
@@LiquidZero1 also another quick quesiton. As far as im aware top coat is just for keeping decals and whatnot on the piece and keeping it on while protecting it. However, if i don't have any decals or waterslides etc, is a top coat still somewhat necessary?
