Painting: an easy tip for better build up and multi-layering.

[KingViper]

If your wanting to paint a BIO or rigid material and wanting a nice weathered, multi-layered look, use high grade acrylics. As your painting spray your layers with 90% + rubbing alcohol. It evaporates quickly and gives your paint job a deep, weathered and layered look. Since it's acrylic, make sure to seal it with Krylon Clear coat or perma wet when your finished!

Hope that helps someone.

So you spray on the alcohol? While the paint is still wet? Just curious, what effect does the alcohol have on the wet paint?

Or do you wait for the paint to dry, then when you apply the alcohol and as it dries it pulls some paint off?
