Washes and raised panel lines

Tools, Techniques, and Reference Materials Techniques

Is there anything special to putting washes around raised panel lines? You would have two lines of wash around the line instead of one in a crevice.

This style of detail molding is best approached a different way. Paint the raised lines black followed with a protective clear coat. After completely dry, apply the main colour(s). Again, after properly cured, use a fine grade sand paper on the raised line to expose the black paint.

That’s awesome, I hadn’t thought of that.

I had been using a wash, and it didn’t come out as well as I would have liked.

Thanks Jack. I never would have thought of that tip. It isn’t in the books I’ve read or FSM lately.
