Thanks Kirby. I haven't found a good way to seal the pigment work as a normal clear coat seems to nullify the effect. When the result is super subtle, I'll usually just leave it alone or perhaps give it a very light dusting with a clear flat.Coming together really nicely John Do you fix or seal your pigments in any way?
I love the Alclad line of paints. Yes, they specialize in metallic finishes but they also offer different clear coats and primers. They are ready to spray out of the bottle and I have never had to thin them. My LHS sells them so I'm assuming they are widely available in the US. Very highly recommended, especially the Aqua Gloss for an acrylic clear coat.I have never used Alclad paints, but it seems most everyone else has. As I understand it they are a cellulose based paint, using lacquer thinner for thinning. But there seems to be a hate em or love em kind of dichotomy in the community. Would I be correct in saying they are mostly used for metallic type finishes? Anyone have a reasonable source for them here in the US?
Looks good John. Why do you feel that there is a "characteristic hard edge of the upper/lower camo demarcation"?
