Cave troll repair

Wow awesome job!

Was curious what kind of paint you used and what you mean by a "quick spot prime" ? did you use any type of paint remover or blender?

Basically to prepare the area to accept paint and have lasting strength, I prime the area with Testors Dullcote. It's a clear laquer based sealer that does not alter the any color. After that, I had to custom mix the colors that were applied to blend in the repair. As for paint, I use whatever I need to get the job done....paints such as Badger Freak Flex, Vallejo, Golden, ComArt, FW Inks, etc. Basically water based paints. Does that help?

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
