I hope to finish painting this week.

So far I've only used this paint on figures and now I've tested it on a larger surface:

Painting wooden boards.

GSW paint is an ink that works as you described. There are spray paints that contain both metallic and colour pigments in one step. I am looking for something like GSW Chameleon paint but with only one color pigment. I'm also thinking of colored metallic paints with some extra glossy varnish. I do not paint historical models. At most I'll convert it to sci-fi style and paint it with candy colours for example. Thank you!

I've seen some people using candy paints, but I haven't found a topic for it. I've tried the Vallejo's set so far (black, magenta, yellow, blue and red). What brands do you use and recommend?

For all primers, it is important to have a clean surface and a drying time at an average temperature. (Don't leave it out in the sun to dry.) And use several thin layers. You can get a better result with a cheaper primer too. Sometimes I use a paint can (Citadel) but I recommend using the airbrush primers (Vallejo Surface Primer or Green Stuff World). Depending on the colour, you can use other brands and it is important to set the pressure and dilution. I made some test with the black primers (gloss and matt) I use and the colour choice. The shade of the paint will be different on different colours of primer. For me, it was interesting to see the difference between a glossy varnish on a matt primer vs. a glossy primer. This might be interesting for others?

Thank you for the information. These were useful for me. Revell uses these names for the two options which is why I used them.

I've known about this technique for years but only just tried it for painting my '37 Ford Pickup.

It will look like the factory photo, without the hood and stickers. I'll put the coupe's V8 engine with the big air cleaner in it. I'll show you a photo when the wiring is done.

The painting has started!
