tamiya enamuel spray and top coat application

How long do I have to wait for the tamiya TS synthetic enamel spray paint to dry or cure before I can apply top coat on it safely?

After that, how long does it take for top coat to dry and fully cure?

Thanks.

also, if you put top coat on before assembling, it gives you tighter joints so that it can hold its poses better, but sometimes, joints may not fit too well because of that. If you dont put top coat on before assembling, wont paint start to chip of later on even if you put top coat on after assembli...

Black seems to contrast with light colors too much so i use grey. What is better on light color parts, black or grey lines? I like a cool soft loo...

don't think it can really hold anything properly when the GN blade/rifle is attached to exia. You can make it hold something, but it will be plain sloppy (like the GN blade will be out and weird swing on the side).

the problem with the lead based paint isnt really the swallowing the pieces whole, its more like touching it when it deteriorates and indigesting the paints that are chipped?

Well, im just going to spray a layer on paint striaght on the top coat layer first and try it, I hope it works!

I dont really know about the exact color, i know what you mean by the GN sword having different colors though. It looks like white on the edges in the anime, but its probably silver ( i mean it is a blade) and its grey in the middle. Are the edges white or silver? Does plated silver look good on the...

How do I remove the stickers and clean the area so that I can place the water slide decals without air bubbles?
