No problems if you use the right primer. Tamiyas spraycans and Modelmasters metalizers does the trick for me. So now you can join your girlfriend when she goes shopping for make-up and see the funny faces you get when the staff realizes that it's you who's to use the nailpolish I found that my red nailpolish wouldn't last a whole body so I mixed it with two different shades of orange and now it looks almost pink But I think it'll look good on the right type of undercoat, that is some darker hue like MM burnt metal. Well, well...we'll see what it looks like when done, I just put on the first primer coat today and has to fill in some imperfections and reshoot the primer again. I'll post some new pics later, now it's time to hit the sack and get some sleep.
