Hello everyone!
I just started collecting and painting my White Scars, and this is my first bike!
I primed it in light grey, then 3-4 layers of Ceramite White either on the bike and the SM.
Washed the armor recesses with Drakenhof Nightshade and covered up some mistakes with Ceramite White.
I still have to finish it 100%, I still have to paint the eye lenses, clean up some mistakes (blue stain under the left backpack vent, black streak on the right side of the seat...) and adding a grey outline to the bolters in front.
Someone has other painting methods for WS bikers? What mistakes did I do?
Thanks for the feedback!

Finally had the time to finish the first biker squad!

Those are great. Painting white is not easy, but I think yoylu've got a technique nailed down.

Keep it up.

Use a bit of vallejo pale grey wash in the corners of the bike. Water it down a bit, and its an easy way to simulate shading on flat areas, or anywhere really.

White Scar (the paint) is easier to work with than Ceramite White (which is awful). Try basecoating in Ulthuan Grey, (or Fenrisian Grey for the daring) and work your way up to white on the raised areas with White Scar.

So.
Many.
Freaking.
Thanks!!!!!!

I bashed my head everywhere to understand how to do that shade effect!!!
BTW The bikers aren't flat white.
I used a Celestra Grey as basecoat, then worked up with 2-3 Ulthuan Grey layers (water+glaze) then highlighted the most exposed areas with Ceramite White/Vallejo White color (depending which paint pot is closest )
