Alternative to painting metal

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

Seriously, the way this color sat on the parts, it made me wonder if I should paint metal or just do some quick highlights to finish the look. The metal looked fine, but not having to apply a lot was well worth it. First time using contrasts, and I got a couple things to say. 1. Get something to hold onto your model for you while you paint. Since it goes on like a wash, your fingers will only get in the way. Also, until you add a coat of paint or sealer, it has a decent chance of rubbing off. 2. Paint the area or whole model in one go. Don't do two coats, it gets darker, fast. This will occur easily if you barely go over an area a second time after it dries. I ended up watching a few videos. Now I'm painting a squad, vehicle, or monster in a single night.

Maybe most versatile gw contrast paint

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

I love this paint. It's uses are endless, wether darkening something like a wash, prepping silver and metallic tones for highlighting, or easily doing highlights in reverse, this stuff rocks. This and Guilliman Flesh for warmer metallics might be my favorite contrast paints bar none. Just be careful not to spill these! They're thin enough that they run quite fast and can stain a large area of your desk very quickly. Maybe transfer these into a dropper bottle for safer storage. Overall though, this is incredible and should be in everyone's paint collection.
