Okay, so here is the second of the two SD gunpla models that I bought from Japan. With this one, I decided that I would try to paint it using spray paints. So this will be a big learning experience and a test of my patience since I don't have much. I was finally able to find a decent dark green and I kinda gave up on finding the perfect joint color which I settled on Nato Black. Most of the spray paint is Tamiya, the large can is Valspar and I have a can of Testors black enamel spray. Only one piece is pink, and I may or may not use the paint (which is by krylon) since there is a pink sticker. I will also be attempting the decals. http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/NZ-666_Kshatriya AMV of Kshatriya in action: https://youtu.be/f8h3pZ-NNGs

Hi all, I've just signed up in the hope that someone on here can advise me regarding painting a 1:1 scale Terminator endoskeleton skull (from the movie). The kit in question is this T800 skull vinyl model. I originally built the model over 10 years ago, and have only just brought it down, finally, from the attic to discover that the silver/chrome paint had become tacky - it looked fine, but was coming off under contact. So, I reluctantly had to strip all of the paint off and dismantle the kit to start it over. I purchased the following paint from Amazon: Chrome Car Paint and have resprayed all of the individual Terminator components successfully. But I am now left with the nagging worry that the same thing may happen again, ie that the skull will become tacky again over time, and wanted to try and clarify this before I go ahead and start painting the details in and re-assembling it. I don't want to have to go through this again. I've read various sites/forums regarding painting vinyl model kits, with a lot of conflicting information. Some saying primer is needed, some saying don't prime. Some saying which types of paints to use, others saying the opposite. Does anyone have a conclusive answer that can help me (and hopefully put my mind at rest before I continue with the model? And does anyone have an idea as to why the paint would become tacky after a few years (of sitting inside a glass case)? Big thanks in advance. Cheers, Jamie
