gingaio Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I recently bought several Bandai 1/55 reissues, and of them all, the VF-1S (regular, not super) is the only one with a sticky paint job/finish. Can anyone suggest a way to remedy this, or is it a normal thing for this particular reissue? They were all brand new, BTW. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray it lightly on a paper towel and rub it on softly. After you have finished completey rubbing the valk down, just leave it for about a day and a half. Not only will this UV protectant help keep your paint from remaining sticky it will also giveit a nice clean look. I tried this on a STRIKE, VE-1, and VT-1...worked like a charm. Plus, I think it smells nice too. BTW- It will not leave a heavy or greasy film. Just remember to wipe it down and leave it alone, as previously described.
