Paint Prep

If you’re going to use paint, you need to a bit of prep first. No matter which paint you’re going to use for this application you need to mix it with thinner until it achieves a watery consistency and can run smoothly. This will allow the paint to run along the lines, and if you’re fortunate, save yourself a lot of work. If you’re working on a kit that’s been painted with flat paints it’s very important to cover the piece in a good gloss coat. This helps smooth out the surface to allow the paint to flow freely again. Even if you didn’t use a flat paint it’s a good idea as it will help protect the paint below. Most importantly, use a different type of top coat than the paint below and the kind you’re using for the detail lines. If you don’t the thinner in the line mixture will eat away the paint below. read more
