F-16 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I seem to remember someone at our club meeting telling me to apply a coat of silver paint as a base for white paint. He said that this will help the coverage of the white better. Has anyone tried this before? Yes, I know about using Tamiya white primer or light gray as a base. But I would like to know if using silver helps white cover any better. Scott CNJC-IPMS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I tried this, once. It was OK. I've since gone to building full coverage with light coats of flat white. If a gloss coat is needed, then a couple of light gloss coats followed by a final wet gloss coat. Works like a charm. Also for yellow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
