I’m hoping someone can enlighten me as to LifeColor paints. I own a dozen or so pots of it, and I can’t get to grips with it. If I brush-paint it, it doesn’t cover. Like, at all — I need to apply four or five coats to mostly cover bare plastic (any colour) or white primer. This is regardless of...

Hi again, I need to re-paint a 1/32 Spitfire that I messed up testing washes on it, but I can't find spare decals at a good price; the cheapest ones are as much as what I paid for the whole kit. So I would appreciate if anyone could guide me about my best options here. I tried airbrushing...

I forgot to clean a good quality brush of its Vallejo Acrylic paint. It set hard. I washed it with washing-up liquid but there are still traces of paint. Is there a liquid that would do a better job? Thanks.
