As the title states, I need help painting clean, crisp white. It is giving me fits!

I'm using white primed models, but if I just leave it blank white, it looks unfinished. I was thinking of going over white areas with a very, very light blue wash. Would that be best?

I'm open to any other suggestions!

A slightly off-white color is best. Pure white and pure black don't really have any real place on their own on an actual model. I'm currently using Reaper's Linen White for my 'pure white' needs and it's working nicely.

I also use Linen white. I start with a light gray base and mix the base color into the white. Building up to white with thinned paint will give you the best results.

Good luck.
