Paint question

Primer coat shouldn't be too thick, you just want it to act as a foundation for the rest of your paint, to help it stick. I coat of Krylon fusion for plastic should do nicely(I use black or gray most times).
I use a coat of sealant on mine. I have never seen a problem with doing so. It is kinda a necessity when using the cheaper paints as they are easier to chip, so I use a spray on sealant.
As far as paint vids on Youtube, most are wargaming based. Just do a search for "dry brush" you should get a bunch of hits.


aah...I see..yeah..will get what I can here..liquitex primer or so..do u use spray primers? or the bush type paste? I'll buy a matte sealant and a gloss too..I found some vids but they're not really helpful..however I did find an awesome vid of molding plastic...the guy uses 2 kinds of liquids together tand when they dry..they become hard plastic!

thanks a lot bob any more vids on youtube about paintintg? haven't been able to find any

Never used them before. All I can suggest is get a $1 store cheapo figure or fodder and paint it using a color or 2. Don't get a bunch of it, just 2 shades of the same color(light gray, dark gray) and dry brush the figure/item. Always remember, all paints do better and hold up longer if you prep you surface. Wash the item in some warm soapy water,after it is completely dry lay on a coat of primer. Dry brush it. When your done hit with 1 or 2 coats of sealant.
If you do decide to try it out, let us know how it works out, coverage, thickness of the paint, etc.
