Subject: AK Interactive: Gloss, Satin, or Matte Base?
Date:Jun 26, 2012 (15:55:20)
From:Tim Streeter
I've read three different places advising these three different types of coatings over paint before applying AK Interactive streaks and washes. The AK site itself was of no help. Short of shelling out money for the DVD "instructions," can anyone share their experiences? I generally use acrylics for shading over rattle can enamel base coat.

Thanks!
