I just wanted to make a singular part of my model retain the look of wet paint that I see immediately after applying paint, before it dries. In this case, it's when I see my old Chaos Black drying upon his face. It is *perfect*, but of course it's dull when it dries back down to a regular black.

Perhaps something that is 'shiny' that could either be applied over the black, or mixed in with it (I forget what this was that I remember people using from long ago...was it varnish or something?) would do the trick.

Do you guys have any suggestions? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545614/5938194.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545614/5938194.page GMT Does anyone know how to simulate a 'wet paint look' on your models, even after the paint dries? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545614/5938247.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545614/5938247.page GMT Does anyone know how to simulate a 'wet paint look' on your models, even after the paint dries?
Any recommendations for which might look best on, say, the face of the Nightbringer? I'm hoping to make it look like it's still somewhat in flux, if you can get my meaning. So more liquid-metal-y. (I really don't much know the differences between the two choices when it comes to this sort of stuff.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545614/5938653.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545614/5938653.page GMT Does anyone know how to simulate a 'wet paint look' on your models, even after the paint dries? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545614/5938675.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545614/5938675.page GMT Re:Does anyone know how to simulate a 'wet paint look' on your models, even after the paint dries? lol.

You should be able to get this affect by painting GW aardcoat onto the area you want to look 'wet' - as you get more into it, I would look at adding some very sharp higlights too (although highlighting black is a pig)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545614/5938708.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/545614/5938708.page GMT Re:Does anyone know how to simulate a 'wet paint look' on your models, even after the paint dries?
