QUOTE: Originally posted by donnyn2001 The paint I am using is Reefer WhitePoly Scale Paint. The problem I am having is since the car is black, and the paint is white, it seems to want to take several coats of paint to make it white (I got frustrated after 5 coats and I saw a faint shade of white). I am using a fairly good brush for the job.
QUOTE: 1. Should I be priming the model, and what would be recommended?
QUOTE: 2. Is air brushing easier. I have an air brush, but no cartridge for it.
QUOTE: Originally posted by TrevorG An old painting tip from my warhammer days applies here. When painting light colours such as White and Yellow, use a light coloured primer. For dark colors use a dark primer. White on white will be vibrant (until you weather it). White on black just look sad. Hope this helps a little, Trevor
