Mark CP Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I am building a model where the sprue's are already the finish colour but there are certain parts that need painting so my question is can I paint Revell aqua straight on the sprue?

PhantomBigStu Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 depends on the colour and how thinned down it is, I use aqua grey 76 as a a burshable primer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levin Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I always use it directly onto the plastics. as PhantomBigStu said i also use 76 (what a coincidence) or 43 (or was it 47? The brighter one) to make the shade of the plastic more even as i often have paint from painting cockpits on the outside near the cockpit etc. Also (again) As PhantomBigStu said some colors or colors that have been thinned could need more coats like bright colors on dark bases etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 As long as you're not planning on doing any masking then yeah why not. I like revell aquas for detail painting but normally that's picking out small bits in primary shades on already sprayed larger parts. (Eg cockpits) On a side note, their metallics, particularly no. 90 silver is one the best brushable metal shades i have used for small areas. I have done the odd bit brushed onto bare plastic but its not the norm for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
