add a drop or two of opaque red to the trans or, make more passes with the trans red. the transparents are not completely transparent, they contain opaque fillers that when built up will achieve a certain level of opacity.

judging by the purple, although hard to tell from pics, it looks like it is a tad light/patchy so i would guess you just needed to make more passes.

you could also use a complimentary color to do the shadows on the orange like a trans purple. or add a few drops to the t red.

either way, experiment and see what works for you.

Shame my camera wont show the floro colours though :mad:

I was just about to ask which mask you bought and saw the RCS bottle in the corner of the pic.
I bought some myself and it's good eh? Will bring the shell to club with me.

How did you apply it?

Yeah its great stuff was a bit thin in places I used a paintbrush but think it would be better and go further through a gun.

I did exactly the same thing, brushed it on too thin in places but where I got it right it was great.
I don't have an airbrush it'll go through though :(

Neither do i yet but think it would be a good investment but need to look into what guns it will go through first. Will save loads of time and effort will defo be using it again :thumbsup:

Google "HVLP" ;)

Already been looking at em the 1.7mm gun is only £26

If you get a gun you need to look at how much air is need to work it properly, if you try and do it off an airbrush compressor one little squeeze of the trigger will empty the tank in a nano second, you really need a 25ltr tank even to power a small gun with a 1.0mm nozzle. 1.7 is too big for LM, I wouldn't go about 1.3/1.4.

Yeah wasnt planning on running it off my airbrush compressor. I do have an old 20ltr noisy as hell thing i was going to try running it off :)

Think the stickers have bought it to life very happy with this one now :)
