Water-based formula
Pot size: 18ml
One coat over a white primer and the robes were done—shadows and all, no extra steps. It flows into the recesses just right, and the water-based formula cleaned up with plain water.
The 18ml pot is a decent size for getting through a few units, and the water-based formula cleaned up easily. It goes on a bit streaky if you're not careful, but a second thin coat over white primer gives a rich, even shade that saves a lot of time.
Gets the job done in one coat, which is exactly what I needed for these robes. The water-based formula means cleanup is easy, though the 18ml pot runs out faster than I'd like on bigger models. Still, the shading effect is worth it.
