It should take the edge off the highlights and make it look like the boiler has been running some.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551879/6044400.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551879/6044400.page GMT Can this paint job be saved?!? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551879/6044480.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551879/6044480.page GMT Can this paint job be saved?!?

But to take some of the gleam off that sort of finish, you can use washes with a bit of matte medium added. Helps the washes mot be glossy themselves.

Or even go for pigment washes if you're familiar with how those work. A light layer of the pigment dust will do alot to tone down shiny stuff

The shiney stuff will all be covered in other paint and then revealed later as rust (it's shiney now because of the gloss coat under the hairspray). As to the mold line.... Erg yea always has to be one.

I plan on using an oil wash to mute the colors and a bluish ink/wash for the rivets and around the boiler. Powders for the base and general dirt and grime.

My concern right now is how extreme the highlights turned out and the splatters on the top. I'm wondering if I can mask them enough with the above or just start over from the gloss coat.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551879/6044978.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551879/6044978.page GMT Re:Can this paint job be saved?!?

Nope that not the issue. I have a ton of painting to do before this is anywhere near ready. Where Its at now is that I have in my opinion over-highlighted on some parts. but more concerning is the beading of the paint on the top. I was wondering if there was a way to fix the paint other than just stripping down to the last "Save Point" (where I gloss coated over the rust layer).

I think Sean had the right idea. I'm gonna finish out the base coats, highlights, shading ect , then go heavy on the weathering and powders.

Just just trust your gut. If you're really concerned and need a safety net jsut make sure to spray a quick gloss coat on between each layer- that way if you do make a mistake you should be able to wipe it off and prevent anything 'permanent'.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551879/6049660.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/551879/6049660.page GMT
