clear paint

Question when painting clear red or clear green on aircraft Should you under coar with a silver or a light gray? thanks J

Hello J!

I suppose it depends on what you’re painting? I use clear green and red for navigation lights. I’ll often paint a silver dot to replicate the lense and then overcoat with the clear colors. Does this answer your question? Hope this helps!

Yes thanks, That is what I’m painting too J

I’ve tried both the silver undercoat and the white undercoat. I recommend the white undercoat, because the silver is too dark. You can experiment first and see which one you prefer…
