To give the first coat of cream a bit more strength, I thought I'd try a primer coat of white, applied around the windows of this coach. The results below: one coat on the right, two in the middle, three on the left. I honestly couldn't tell you if the game was worth the candle.
Here's one weird thing about painting this particular coach: I ran across a patch of plastic where the acrylic paint turned instantly to sludge as I applied it, making a smooth, even coat impossible. I scraped it off and tried again with the same result. I've never seen a reaction like this, but then I've never used acrylic paints on plastic models before.
