White House K10 - a story of regeneration

[Ninemeister_imp]

After discussing the issue with Mike of how to accurately replicate the original Candy Blue Green paint that was built with layers of translucent layers, we decided to go with a modern equivalent that could be applied through the modern method of a single base coat covered in clear lacquer.

And so it began, flatting off the primer, building the layers of colour base coat to an even thickness, then laying out the stripe on the tank.

Perhaps counterintuitively, the black of the stripe is painted first, then once dried is further masked and painted over in the gold.
