AOBR marine as a test. Paint looked fine, but... yeah... washes and other paints don't want to stick to it. That's pretty much the exact opposite of how you want your basecoat to behave.

So, are there silver spray paints out there that actually can work as a basecoat? If so, which brands? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2595443.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2595443.page GMT Basecoating with Silver Spray Paint? IG with Testores dull coat at specific points in my painting process and I'm able to paint and wash over that without any problems.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2595499.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2595499.page GMT Basecoating with Silver Spray Paint?
Surely though, there must be moderately priced metallic spray paints out there that can be painted on / washed over, without the varnish step?

I know Army Painter has a "Plate Mail" metal spray paint that supposedly works but at $15 it is damn expensive. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2595689.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2595689.page GMT Re:Basecoating with Silver Spray Paint? NMM style was developed so the figure can be sealed without having the metallic effect changed.

Some folks have had much better luck than I have though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2595785.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2595785.page GMT Basecoating with Silver Spray Paint? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2595839.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2595839.page GMT Basecoating with Silver Spray Paint?

Of course it is an airbrush paint, but might be worth the investment in an airbrush if you don't have one. it is a very durable paint that sticks very well. It cures with a little heat...a hairdryer will do. They have a huge gamut of color. just Google Createx and check it out.


Hmm, interesting. Thing is I am cheap. LOL. I figured either a generic spray paint (Krylon, Rustoleum or other common Home Depot / Lowe's brands) or one of the various hobby spray paints (Testator's, Tamiya etc; ) would work out ok straight from the can. Thing is, I have no idea which of these would work. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2598285.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2598285.page GMT Basecoating with Silver Spray Paint?

Tamiya can be airbrushed too but it needs to be reduced, and will need several coats to build up some of the brighter colors.

If you have a harbor freight store near you they have some very cheap A/B systems that you just plug in. If you wanna stay on the cheap these guys are like a mecca.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2598646.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/355825/2598646.page GMT
