Default Techniques I learned Years Ago

Dre,

I do not know which paints you are using but I can tell you from my experience (using FF.COM figures) that Apple Barrel is the best paint. Although it is thicker than oil-based Testor, it gives you a smooth finish. I looks "lumpy" at the start but once you seal it, you will never know. You remember the Mantarays I did for you?

Look at the paint and see how smooth that paint was. Cayman Blue from Apple Barrel/Folk Art! No distortions, just a light application with a sealant and you are good to go. Don't waist your time priming our figures. Just apply the paints and go for it.

Just my opinion.
