"Apply 3 or 4 thin coats of paint" is something I often see and it is always something that....well call me thick.....I just can't get my head around.
To do a 'Wash' 4 parts thinner to 1 part paint add let dry wipe off, OK get that.
To do a 'Glaze' 5 parts thinner to 1 part paint, apply over small areas to change the tone of the colour, OK get that.
I gather that by the dilution the above is classed as "Thin" paint.
Applying this logic to a kit does this mean that if I am applying a thin primer, it would be a similar dilution say 3 or 4 parts thinner to 1 part paint and so on for applying solid colurs like say a blue to the underside of an aircraft?
And in doing so by applying more coats of this very dilute paint would then build the colour up to the intensity or tone that you require?
