I finished this Zaku II with a blue color scheme, even though it was supposed to be the Red Comet! 🩵
The main color is Sapphire Blue from Vallejo's True Metallic Metal Series, with Ultramarine Blue added to the arms and thighs to create contrast. 🟦
To give it a glossy finish, I brush-painted it with Acrylion Clear, sanded it with #8000 and #10000 grit sandpaper, then applied a topcoat and polished it with compound to enhance the metallic look. 🖌️
I tried brush-painting it all, referencing a video that showed how to achieve a glossy finish with just brush painting. By properly diluting the clear coat and layering it thinly, you can achieve this level of finish with just a brush.
