WHY DO SOME FIGURES TAKE PAINT BETTER.
 

COACHES,


Why does some figures take paint better than others ? Can the plastic be that much different. Some figures accept 1 coat on the first stroke while other fig's you may have to go over an area again.


WHAT GIVES HERE ?

I always spray my figures with a flat white paint before detailing and painting. It creates a better surface for the decals to lay down easier, and for the paint to brush on. Plus all the different types of figures have different looking plastic, and I like all my figs to look the same. Hope this helps--keep up the good work.

Figures also have different degrees of "oil" in their makeup which can make a difference as well as a light coating that helps release them from the mold. Warhammer painting sites, that I have visited, always recommend a light sudsy scrub before painting.

I alawys rub each fig with an soulvent called acrosolve it takes of any oils and anything that might be on the fig from its being made and this works very well for me
