Hey Chris
Many thanks for taking the time and trying to help me!
I used two coats, which is possibly one of the reasons. Another one is that I am simply confused as to what exactly use as primer, if any.
Right now I am using a black acrylic polymer primer than on top of it a coat of aluminum (which actually is to be used with an airbrush).
After that I use the "scratches effect" from ammo of mig.
Then I start painting.
I think this is all too much. But how to get scratches without using an aluminum base before? And then how to get that to stick without a primer?
Seems like a catch 22 to me. Very frustrating.
Also I think that I'm not waiting enough between coats. Usually 12 hours. Maybe should let it cure more. It is just that I have so little time for the hobby that I try to pack as much in as possible.
Sorry for this heart pour and many thanks for helping.
Cheers
Alex
