Default RE: How much paint do I need?


ORIGINAL: YHR

I always give my tanks a factory finish, and then Dullcoat. This seals the factory finish. Acrylic weathering and washes are then applied. Again I keep preaching this. Windex window cleaner absolutey removes acrylic paint but does not touch Dullcoat. For guys starting out this is important. If you screw up your first attempts at weathering, spray the tank with windex, let it sit for a couple of minutes and then wipe it down with a soft cloth. Your tank we be restored to it's factory finish and you can try again!!!! If you want to lock in the weathering then dullcoat the tank again.
Sounds like a good idea. I'll have to try it when I paint my tank.
