I love that paint scheme, looks so wild with the pink and purple. I had a bunch of questions in regards to painting and they pretty much all got answered in this video. You always see other people talk about doing the gloss coat, but I didn't know if it should be each piece individually, or an area at a time, like each leg, arm, head. Also with priming, do you need to clean your airbrush tip between filling the cup with more primer? Doing a whole kit takes awhile, and I wasn't sure if I should be cleaning the brush tip when I add more or just keep going.
Thank you very much!! I'm happy I could answer some of your questions. This is just the way I do it, you don't have yo coat every segment individually but I've found i can more easily spray and keep track of what has been sprayed if I do, as well as give good coverage! As far as cleaning between cup loads, I will percolate thinner in the cup between coats (even coats of the same color) to make sure nothing dries in there, and yes sometimes I will clean the nozzle and shroud as well. Perhaps a bit paranoid, but it's never steered me wrong!
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate that. When I make a mistake with water-based acrylics I typically use isopropyl alcohol on a fine cotton swab or brush to slowly remove it! But I think the most effective thing I could do would be to just suck it up and mask 😅
@@LiamsHobbyRoom Yeah, im constantly torn for little bits on masking vs hand painting with enamels. Ive never thought about using acrylics, which would be easier to brush and dry a lot faster. Thanks for chiming in.
I'm pretty sure if I didn't wear a respirator my lacquer paints would kill me haha I like to use very thin coats, and I typically thin my *core colors* ahead of time and keep them for multiple projects, so actually I'd say there's much less waste! But it really depends on your process!
Masterful work, there, Liam! Love watching your work come to life, brother. 🤘

Awesome, thanks for detailing this, your work is great. What do you do when you make a mistake hand painting with the acrylics?

@@LiamsHobbyRoom welcome
What clear gloss do you use that doesn’t affect the differing paints?
Mr. Super Clear III UV Cut!
lol How do you feel about liquid masking ?
I hate it less! And I forgot I have liquid mask until you mentioned it just now LOL
Oooo look at you *coughs* *coughs* mister respirator *cough*.
I really should think my paint way more then I do. Do you find there's a lot of waste?
I'm pretty sure if I didn't wear a respirator my lacquer paints would kill me haha

Oh that's a good idea. Maybe someday you'll have to see my process!
