Has anyone worked with this? Can you spray acrylics over it once it is dry. Can you weather with pigments? Is it best to prime the parts first. Thanks in advance Rick

I've been fighting with it now on my 1/32  HK P51d build to see if I could get a good nmf with it.

After weeks of trying various techniques I settled on painting it over a coat of alclad. By varying the amount of polishing you can get interesting tarnishing affects over different panels. But it is a lot of heard work to get acceptable results. Probably will work better on small parts unlike my p51 wings.
