Ok my question is how to recover from your models being chiped with out striping and repainting the model. My cats jumped on the desk and knocked off a bunch of models and chipped them all the way down to the pewter. How would you base or paint the spots showing. I've repainted the spots and matt finished them but with the water base paint it just chips back off. If anyone can help I'd be mighty thankful.

Personaly my models never chip cause i play guard, but just try unwatered paint on them.

Try coating them with varnish when you finish them. The varnish should protect the paintwork of the model. To re-paint chips, apply the undercoat, then paint it exactly as you did before.

Either varnish them as other people have said or use a Matt automotive clear coat. Thats what I use, I get it at Walmart.

A matt varnish will act as an undercoat for you to retouch the damaged areas.
