Hi.I am confused if to use pre or post shading. Does pre shading work with enamel paints? With post shading,If the colour is yellow,you use dark yellow? and if blue ,dark blue etc etc?

Regards Andrew.

It all depends. I know some people use black and spray all the panel lines in them spray on there main color. And some do it main color 1st. and them the shading

It’s all up to you. I would say get a trash kit and try both ways and see what you like better.

Hope that helps

Both techniques are trying to accomplish the same effect. Any type of pain can be used, and in the post-shading case, pastels can be used too, and probably other stuff.

Try several techniques. I like post-shading personally, as it seems to be easier for me to do with some degree of control. But try different techniques so you can find the one you like.
