I’ve been painting for a few months now so i know what you mean, this was just the first time i tried to clear coat a primer is all. Plus I’m not entering the GBWC or anything major, just a small shops competition so i should have a decent chance.
ah ok, i’ll give that a try. Luckily I caught my mistake early and only need to redo like 5 parts. I painted the inner frame in a flat gunmetal and it looks great, just need to paint the white and purple armor and it should be done. Hopefully it will look competition worthy
Well i wanted to paint the parts white and the primer is the same shade of white as my paint, so when i tried to airbrush the white onto the part i couldn’t tell where i had hit and how thick it went on so i figured i could just hit it with a gloss top coat to get the desired effect.
don’t want to discourage you, ofcourse aiming to be competition worthy is a great goal but if you’re just starting with paints don’t be too critical or expect too much it takes time to develop those skill all the same I wish you the best.

well primers and topcoats just like paints come in acrylic enamel and lacour, and just like paints lacour will eat through enamel and acrylic and enamel will eath through acrylic, and even if it’s the same brand, you have to make sure it’s the same type or atleast not being used in the orders that eat through each other.
