I am about to embark on buying and painting up French and Allied armies for BtLB.
Now, when I first painted metal miniatures back in 1973 I used a white undercoat. I graduated to black later on. Black was more forgiving and, if you missed a bit, there wasn't this great white patch glaring back at you. However, red and yellow are notoriously difficult to paint over black without an intermediate colour so, I'm asking those experienced painters amoungst you to please help out here.
What is your preferred undercoat and why? I also realise that some people use other undercoat colours.
Regards,
Jim
PS: If anyone knows how to edit a poll, can they please correct the spelling of preferred?
