Good idea, bad idea? If you do, what do you use? Etc. -------------------- Spartan We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty.

It comes out one of two ways...clumpy or thin.

I fully paint the mech with my base color the I color in panels, wash,& drybrush etc. I've never noticed any chiping or other effects with the exception with those Ral Partha half metal half plastic garbage they came out with.

But I was kinda hoping to avoid having to spray paint just because of it being a hassle. -------------------- Spartan We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty.

At least that is what happened with testors spray paint. I tried it several times, allways ending with the same result.

I get a nice thin coat that way. I use a flat acrylic. Sometimes Testors, sometimes Citadel, or sometimes cheap Wal Mart 99 cent can -Sarge Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 0 registered and 0 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
