Sorry, im new to this whole painting thingChrisI think you can. Don't quote me on it, but I remember using it on models when I was a kid. Make sure you have a good base coat down first.

Monty22 833 Report post Posted December 31, 2006 multiple thin coats are always better than one heavy thick one. Take your time and the results will be worth it. Make sure the surface is properly prepped as well. Lightly sand between coats with fine grit sandpaper or steel wool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
