First how well do washes go over enamel paints?
How well will acrylic paints go over enamel paints.
What can I use to thin out enamel paints to clean an airbrush. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022259.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022259.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions
1 - base in gold
2 - shade with druchii violet
3 - apply gemstone red, or tamiya clear red, or other choice.

As to washes over typical oil enamels, they'll run for the edges a bit more, if I recall, but they shouldn't have much problem. I remember repainting marines in my early days from previously oil-enamel paints and getting the acrylics to stay was... fun.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022322.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022322.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022395.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022395.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/701007.page

That one's not quite the same, but there's a few test shots from different combinations in there.

I saw it along the way a few months back, and I've tried googling for it but I have no luck. You'll see in that one the Gloss Nuln Oil really brings up the shine on the candy red.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022717.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022717.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions
All the paint work is done with a patriot 105 airbrush.

I prime gloss black (stynylrez)

Full coat of Metal Color Chrome



Full coat of Metal Color Gold (full on C3PO look)



Badger Ghost Tint Red (but pick your clear red of choice)



Finished everything else with a regular brush




You can pre-shade with metalics under the candy coat for some effects, but I hadn't practiced it enough to experiment on the rather spendy FW Kytan.


Edit - Forgot a few answers...

I'm not a huge fan of enamel paints through my airbrush as I'm a filter vs external exhaust guy.

Washes over candy coats will remove the shine and really impact the look of the finish. I don't have a great photo example of this on my Juggernauts, but I did an agrax wash around the panel edges and it's very notable as it knocked the metallic effect way down. I did not wash the red on the Kytan at all because of that. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022817.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022817.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions
Step 2: Varnish and give that another 24 hours to dry.

Step 3: Continue to paint as usual with no worries, but be sure to varnish again when done. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022866.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022866.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022957.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022957.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions

My fantasy dark elves' armour was painted with GW's red gemstone paint over silver:


Absolutely no airbrush required. Undercoat black. Base Leadbelcher (or equivalent). Edge highlight Stormhost Silver (or equivalent). Paint Spiritstone Red liberally all over. Recess shade Druchii Violet (but you could use Nuln Oil or Agrax for a less purplish look).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022983.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10022983.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions

Yeah that looks fine on small parts of models, but when you are trying to paint whole models like that it looks absolutely atrocious as the paint doesn't settle in even layers and you just clog up any details.
OP if you have an airbrush get some clear red to put through it, it's the only way really to achieve the effect you are after, you can't take shortcuts when trying to achieve candy metallic colours as there are none that come close in terms of quality when compared to what you can do with an airbrush.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10023034.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10023034.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions
I ordered some candy read from alclad II which looks just top notch, but again, airbrushed on, which I don't mind doing just it's just a lot I gotta tape off just because of the under side chest plate of the Daemon price is in such a crappy spot.

this is airbrushed black, then a mix of gold/brown as a base, airbrush highlight gold, bit of silver added as a further highlight - the red is then applied by brush over this - the base pre-shades it, took about three coats.

rest is then painted by hand]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10025006.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10025006.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10025028.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10025028.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions
Thats Tamiya clear red, which isn't amazing to spray as it stinks, on larger panels or flat panels spraying looks a lot better]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10025034.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10025034.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10025553.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10025553.page GMT Re:Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions

Not too bad on the candy effect.. you might want to give it a gloss agrax wash to give a little depth and boost the shine if you want that.


Nah does not need it, it's really glossy but does not show im images]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10030217.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10030217.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10030306.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10030306.page GMT Re:Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions
VMC Gold, light edge wash with Druchii Violet, Gemstone Red.

I was debating evaluating Blood for the Blood God as well.. I might do that elsewhere.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10035201.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10035201.page GMT Candy red 30k Tsons and enamel paint questions http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10035551.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758697/10035551.page GMT
