I usually Prime with humbrol then use acrylics ,but just lately am trying to brush Stynlrez/Badger primer, just interested in your process....... thanks Mark No I don`t usually prime,....I build up the colours by layers,..... the only colours that I will prime for are red and yellow if needed.

If only I had a pound for every time somebody asks me this!! Well the first rule is not to apply too much in one go! For large surfaces use a flat wide brush and build up layers thinly. For the later layers,....when you are almost there,....use a dry brushing technique to apply the paint,..... it helps keep the layers of paint as thin as possible and also helps to smooth out any brush marks too. Hope that helps, Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
