Detailed practice
1. Brighten the black background Primer and gloss black as per normal procedure (Because it is a test spray, the example is straight up bright black)
2. Rub electroplating powder Nothing special, no tricks to wipe directly… (Please use cotton pads for wiping electroplating powder)
3. Adjust the desired transparent color You can paint first, or you can use the way of stacking colors later But TAMIYA’s paint, the color is dark Therefore, it is recommended to adjust first and then spray, and in the last step (The fewer layers of paint are stacked, the brighter the gloss will be) ※The solvent must be lighter oil ※Dilution ratio A. Pigment 1:2 lighter oil when dry spraying B. When spraying wet, the pigment can be 1 to 2~2.5 lighter oil (The dilution ratio can be adjusted according to the situation)
4. Dry spray the first layer Use the method of high air pressure and small amount of paint to spray (so-called dry spray) Quickly and comprehensively apply a coat of paint to act as a barrier (Under the effect of lighter oil volatilizing quickly The paint will fall on the electroplating powder layer, and it will dry before destroying the electroplating powder layer) ※At this time, the mirror effect will become foggy, please don’t worry
5. Continue to spray the second to third layers The method is the same as above, in order to ensure that the isolation layer has completely covered the electroplating powder layer If you are worried that the spray is not complete, you can spray the third to fourth layers
6. Last spray If the previous steps were done correctly At this point, you can directly spray the paint surface with confidence And the fogged surface will also be smooth because the paint surface is sprayed wet. Restore radiance and clarity
