Handpaint details before or after gloss coat?
Posted by starwarsdude on Saturday, April 4, 2020 11:42 AM

Do you guys do your handpainted details before or after a clear gloss coat? I usually handpaint details directly after the base paint. My thinking behind this question is that  gloss coat protects the base coat and makes it easier to remove detail painting mistakes without affecting the base paint.

It depends on what the details I'm painting. More than likely after.
