Hello all
So dipping my toe into the waters of customs I have managed to (surprisingly
) pretty successfully repaint a really cheap fake G3 using really cheap acrylics that I had kicking about. I used cheap materials really just to practice before attempting a g1 custom and followed Roognas tutorial (thanks it was great
). I have re haired before when restoring so I am not worried about this.
I am now scared to start painting on the symbols. I am wondering what kind of thickness the paint should be and what happens if I make a mistake? How do you fix the mistake without taking off the repaint colour underneath or do you just wait for it to dry and paint over, either way I would be concerned about it then looking bad.
I am also interested as to what brands of paint (uk based) people use, I looked at the liquitex but they are a bit more than I want to shell out to start off with, the ones I have are really cheap (like from the £1 shop), should I just stick with these until I get a bit of practice or would the quality make the learning curve more difficult? I know I definitely need to get some better brushes.
Thanks in advance.
