Thinned it with a bit of water and it flowed into the recesses without pooling, leaving that smooth matt finish exactly as described. Two thin coats gave me crisp edge highlights on my space marine pauldrons without any chalky texture.
This layer paint goes on smooth and builds up to a crisp highlight without leaving brush strokes, exactly what I need for edge highlights on my Space Marines. One coat covers nicely over the base color and the matt finish keeps everything looking clean.
This is the first red I've used that actually layers smoothly without turning chalky on the second coat. The water-based formula thins nicely and the matt finish makes those edge highlights pop exactly where I want them.
