Gundam Modification and Painting Showcase — MG Barbatos Full Paint

Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese

A project that took me three months to complete! MG Barbatos full paint modification.

Process:
1. Sanding and seam line removal for all parts
2. Primer → Base coat
3. Main color uses Gaia Color military grey
4. Gradient painting technique to create a metallic texture
5. Oil weathering
6. Matte topcoat

The most difficult part was the metallic finish on the inner frame; it took three attempts before I was satisfied. Used over 50 different paint colors.

Does anyone else have experience with full painting? Let's exchange some tips!

Full-paint modification is one of the highest realms of the model hobby. This process itself is a form of artistic creation.

The oil weathering step is super effective! The Barbatos already has that battle-damaged feel, and adding the weathering effect makes it look even more realistic.

Handling metallic colors is indeed very difficult. I've tried a few times and haven't been able to achieve a satisfactory result. Could you share what methods you use?

The frame design of Barbatos is beautiful in itself. After a full paint job, the contrast between the frame and the outer armor will definitely have a great sense of depth.

Be careful with ventilation when spray painting late at night! I once tried spray painting in my room late at night and the whole house ended up smelling... I got complaints from my family😂

50 different paint colors! That number is just staggering. Just mixing and testing them alone would take so much time.

Three months of hard work! The military gray tone looks super stylish. Gaia Color's gray series has always been very popular among modelers.

As a figure photographer, I would absolutely love to shoot this custom work! A military-grey Gundam shot with low-key lighting would definitely look super cool.

The effect of matte clear coat will greatly enhance the texture of the entire model. This step is very important, but many people skip it.

I want to see photos! The text description is already very attractive; the real thing must be even more stunning. Do you have any before/after comparison photos?

Three months... this kind of patience and perseverance is truly worthy of respect. The finished product must be very fulfilling.
