Update , thought i would try something different so i gave it a coat of Alclad 2 The Original black microfiller / primer then a coat of Alclad 2 The Original grey microfiller / primer , but done the grey lighter in places to give it a difference in base colour , pre shade next to get it ready for the Topnotch Models masks
