Ok this is probably going to be the noobest question you’ve all heard in a while but here goes…
How many coats of colour(the same colour) do you guys put on your model parts?.. Is there any hard and fast rule to this? Or just personal preference?
I’ve primed my pieces and airbrushed a coat of colour… And in all fairness its well covered… Just wondered if one coat is enough or if there’s a valid reason to apply a second coat before clear coat?.. its acrylic paint for information purposes
My sister once told me the secret to cooking scrambled eggs is to plate them before you think they are done.
Works great every time. I’m trying to learn to apply this to my airbrushing because I’m too heavy-handed and never know when to stop. I agree with Goldhammer and Tojo, with airbrushing, less probably is better.
The pigments for red & yellow paints are generally thinner (acrylic and enamel) and may be more problematic in achieving one-coat coverage. Green & blues are better.
Go slow, multiple light coats to achieve coverage instead of one heavy
Also white and orange - moreso with gloss paints than flats. At least this is my experience with Tamiya acrylics. With Tamiya acrylics, flat white, yellow and red have a good pigment density.
