Some Gunpla kits come with pre-painted parts or parts with pre-applied details, such as metallic or translucent finishes.
Many modelers still choose to paint their kits to customize and add further detail.

However, the kits are designed to be enjoyable and visually appealing even without painting, making them accessible to a wide range of hobbyists.
