8. Q. does the model need to be gloss coated before using your washes?

     A. No you can use it with a flat coat or gloss, that said your paint work does need to be smooth and not like sand paper. I would recommend a satin or gloss coat for your first time you use it.

9. Q. Can I brush paint a clear coat over the wash or does it have to be airbrushed.

     A. Once all the excess wash has been removed you can brush over the wash with a normal brush or airbrush to seal the wash in. The wash will darken slightly when covered.
