I saw an article recently that recommended using black as an undercoat for white - like on invasion stripes, for example. Has anyone tried it? Does it work? Seems a bit odd!
And that's how I've always done them.\ said:When I've read build articles involving painting invasion stripes they've always painted a big block of white first then masked off the portions to remain white spraying the black over them.
I'm ****** sorry Edgar, did we hit a nerve? Under coats need to be neutral, black white 18% grey etc. now calm down dear, it was only a question :D\ said:Absolutely ***** ridiculous; have you ever seen a housepainter paint a door black, before he paints it white? Go to any dealer, look at their range of house paints, and note what undercoat they advocate for white; I'll wager that not one will even mention a dark grey, never mind black. Gloss black makes a good backing for chrome, or metallics, like alclad, because it can make them more reflective, but it's just a flaming nuisance under white.Edgar
No, "we" didn't; I just don't want a newcomer to the hobby to think that this is a viable proposition, and be put off the hobby for life, because he ruins a model.\ said:I'm ****** sorry Edgar, did we hit a nerve?

Oh c'mon now, that is absolutely not on, Housepainters do not do that, they drink tea, eat biscuits and lean on things telling you how busy they are.\ said:And BTW, I have never seen a house painter do anything well except drink tea and lean on things whilst sucking air through their teeth. :D
