i just sanded it off it was pretty much only the little black bits ... the frame only has a light coat, so another thin layer on top wont hurt to much and thanks again Ted __________________ Steven Glasgow, Scotland

Give it a clear coat of red after the metalic pink-purple paint and you'll get a pearlescent red, would look awesome ! --- Imagine me saying this in a drunken but enthusiastic chant .... Do it !

I'm no painter but the "Orange peel" texture---is it from over spraying? As for color I am lost. __________________ Ted pinterest pg. of scale models/dioramas: http://www.pinterest.com/intrstinpintrst/awesome-scale-models/

Lol Steven, was not clear to me Anyhow, I really like the cherry redness of the last one, that is a nice colour and really suits the Mecha I say go with that colour as it definitely works even if it aint what you had in mind Also re. the orange peel effect Ted mentions, I'm liking that too as it gives a cast metal kinda look to it __________________ May The Farce Be With You !

I dont mind the orange peel so long as all the red parts come out the same haha! and again even if the it doesnt work out so well its still ok, And im gonna mess around with some colours on spoons till i find what im after .. i tried tamiya x-7 with a light coat of the ruby alclad over it seems not so bad, but i think it would be better with a black primer first.... i read an article online too though, so maybe have a better read when im home from work and try some of that ... Createx Pearlised red seems to look cool http://www.graemenattress.com/wp/paint-what-i-use-and-why/ __________________ Steven Glasgow, Scotland
