Ian -
John - the primer colour doesn't really matter as I always use a dark colour over the top as a base coat. It could equally have been grey but I only have white at the moment. The broken sleep is getting rather annoying - I get to bed anywhere from about 00:30 to 05:00. As a result I have trouble getting up and I am late for work nearly every day and have to work lunch time to make up
Jim - Dull Cote is one I haven't tried but the AK is acrylic and matter than a matt thing. Sprays nicely from the bottle without thinning
Well, before I fell asleep again I managed to attack it with water, brush and cocktail sticks to give this.......
the effect I was looking for was the kind of typical worn finish that results from a badly prepared quick overspray of the factory green - I think it worked reasonably well, what does anyone else think? Too much, not enough, just right??
I think I prefer AK worn effects as it gives more predictable results compared to hairspray, in my hands anyway
