How Many Layers Of Permawet? Pics!

[Uglimofo]

I am finally finishing my suit of Predator skin. Before the netting goes on, I wanna make sure of something. I have painted 1 coat of Permawet on already. Do I need to put more than 1 coat for an EXTRA shiny look to the skin? Also, apparently Permawet darkens the paint job a little. Would further coats make it even darker? Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

On my mask I used 3, and yes the first coat does darken it a tad. I haven't noticed any more darkening with subsequent coats. I used an airbrush for mine, and thinned it down with water, about 70% Permawet to 30% water. I'm told that the more water you add (within reason) the shiner the final outcome will be. My mask has a "semi gloss" finish, and looks okay to me, but the final finish is really a matter of preference. Hope this helps!

The more water the LESS shiney it is.

Thanks for the help. I really want a slippery, slimey, wet look to the skin.

Absolutely correct, I got mixed up for a second there. Nice catch, thanks!
