Paint it SILVER , as it covers best so you need less . And buy a Heavier Spinner .
Wind's advice is , for the underside , when it looks like it needs one more coat , stop there .
So youd get away with 3 on top , light base , cover coat , rub back , and mist coat - thin .
Ive used Auto Acrylic thrown in Nitrate , 30 or 40 % maybe , then plenty of thinners. Highly Scientific .
Not .
Some flash G M Silver fine metallic .
You can get way carried away over weight conciousness . and a C G is arbitory - you can vary it a bit & vary elevator ration maybe .
They rattle on about additive , some soap stuff , for sanding with 600 or 1200 , so the paper wont clog .
Whadareya thryn tado , win Concourse or somthin . It'd be lighter with one coat of clear , as is . If performance was the prime objective .
So if your putting on three more coats of butrate , having the colour in them should pretty much cover it , with a few days between coats to gass off .
NOTE : finishing is not my Forte , so quick & simple . Costs a fortune getting all sorts of fancy colours . Specially when theyre the wrong ones - for a rainy day .
Then the clears all foggy . You get this doing it at 2 am when its raining - out in the shed .
Supposed to e out rubbing back the Typhoon for final silver right now .
