Help - Anti Flash White & gloss with Spray cans


lomasca

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I've picked up a 1/200 Vulcan and have finally decided to go anti flash white (I chickened out of doing it on my last Victor...)

I want to do this with spray cans. What are the best (ideally cheapest) primer and white gloss products for the job?

I don't know whether to go

primer > matt white > clear gloss

primer > gloss white

enamel vs. acrylic etc

Any help to make sure this just works first time would be highly appreciated!

Ta,

Chris

Hallfords White plastic primer followed by Halfords appliance white.

With a light rub down of the White Plastic Primer in between.

It gives an excellent surface finish for the Appliance White.

If you want it to remain semi-matt, don't do a top coat of Appliance White - just polish the Primer coat.

Or..... apply White Plastic Primer, rub down, apply the gloss Appliance White, add the decals - and finish off with a few mist coats of Games Worshop 'Purity Seal' - for a great satin finish.

That's 3 cans of spray paints - so a bit expensive if you're only doing one model?

PS - If your upper surface was camo using enamel paints - don't use acrylics on top of enamel.
