[@exalteddd]

Hi! Great work on the weathering! I have a question, did you coat before applying the enamel paint or just apply it on bare plastic?

[@nottoscale6529]

Yes, I coat before applying the enamel paint.

[@exalteddd]

Thanks for the response, which coat do you use/ recommend to use? Gloss or matte? ​@@nottoscale6529

[@nottoscale6529]

Semi gloss.@@exalteddd

I'm surprised how many people seem to enjoy this ridiculously heavy-handed approach to weathering. This doesn't make your model look "weathered", it looks like it's been rolled around in the dirt and stepped on. IMO light, subtle weathering looks best and makes your models look the most real. Less is more with this sort of thing.
Also, going for this super dirty look and then coating with a semi-gloss instead of matte? Make it make sense.
