Well, it looks like I have to get back to the old drawing board....or continue with my original plan...

Oh right, that Magnus looks nifty. You going to make glow in the dark armor for him too?

thanks,hopefully you finish yours soon too!!
no armor for this bot this time around though.

thanks alex!
the paint was first spray bombed automotive matte white enamel x2 light coats as primer,then hand brushed "humbrol" flat white enamel again as the top coat.

Bravo!

lolz,thanks mang!!

the base coat is spray bomb which dries to the touch within 5-10 min,but it actually takes almost 18 hours to fully harden.
the handbrushed humbrol white enamel actually took waaaaay longer as i had to do it while doing multiple light brush coats and going back and forth with the glow in the dark paint in the grooves,then trim again with the brushed white.
no thinners required.

Man, I can't believe how smooth and even that white paint is. I've got one bot thatI'm painting white and it's taking forever...

Looks awesome, and the glow effect is awesome. As for trying to tell if it's even or not - does it show under black light? it may not glow, but there may be enough of a reaction to possibly tell where you've painted - for future use obviously.

^lolz,thanks d.
i haven't had a black light since my junior high days,but that's totally a feasable idea for future use
