Small update.
I did the first two dust coats of the green this morning, I plan on doing one wet coat, and see how she looks.
After primer coat was given a day to fully dry, I brushed on toothpaste to allow for a nice smooth and somewhat shiny coat.
I then washed it with soap and water.
Air dried it, and then cleaned it with my microfiber cloth, then it was off to the paint stand.
note I allowed both cans to sit in warm water for at least 10 mins, it really did improve the paint flow, im also surprised at how well the paint sits. Tamiya has some great stuff.
Here's pics of paint, finished primer was, and the first dust coat.
