The usual procedure is light color first. I'm working on a Stuka right now so I have sprayed the light green yesterday and will spray the dark (schwarts grau) over that today. I have gone the other way before but I think that the light color first seems to be your best bet for most jobs. Captain [4:-)]

I'd spray the orange first. It would probably be difficult to get the orange to fully cover the black if you did it the other way.

Hi Don,

Usually one would spray the lighter color first, at least with aircraft camo, and any overspray or spluttering can be removed with a bit of tamiya compound, you could try on a piece of spare plastic you have around, trying the 2 techniques and see what suits you best..

Hope to have been of some help

regards

Gianni

Questions on two tone painting
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, June 18, 2005 1:35 AM
I'm painting a Tamiya Honda RC211v and have to spray Orange and Black two tone. What is best to spray, light over dark or the other way around? I'm using Tamiya acrylics.

Thank for any help
