second coat (acrylic) paint problem
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, January 26, 2005 10:39 AM
I'm painting my big Dragon Railway Gun and have painted the large barrel with ta first coat of Tamiya's gray acrylic. I thinned it with a lacquer thinner and it looks great...but it needs, of course, a second coat...Now, can just put on a second coat of gray directly after the first coat properly dries, or should I follow the first coat with either a clear gloss or clear flat, and THEN spary a second coat? Any help would be appreciated as always...

if you spraying it out, you don't need to do anything to the first coat. If you a brush painting, the problem is that the 2nd coat may dissolve the 1st coat if you go over it too much.

Thanks for the prompt reply, Waik---I was hoping that would be the answer as I am anxious to get going on the paint job again....I checked out your photos...good stuff...I just got a digital camera for Christmas and now I, too, hope to get better clarity and closer closeups of my stuff....
