@woldenspoons the only “contrast” sprays will be the primers, so expect to pay usual £12.50 or their abouts a can, im guessing the price of the shades to be about £4.80 RRP, so assume a 10-20% discount at the usual online retailers, should be about £3.95-4.30 after discount, not to bad, in terms of price.

Brush marks will always be a problem on smooth armored mini’s the space marine i showed in the opening post of this thread looks terrible upclose, mainly because it works by staining so the first contact with the brush creates a visible drop outline, which you cant really paint over, just makes it more pronounced, so strategic placement of the initital touch of the brush will be needed to avoid this, probably starting between the legs is a good place to loose the initial drop marks, its also quite telling in the vids on the citadel colour site, they make mention of using contrast medium to help prevent this, so they pretty much tell you to glaze it on smooth surfaces.
