I am getting a little frustrated with the use of some acrylics in that if I use them on a kit that requires different thickness of material left, the color is way off and does not look right. I have been reverse painting the blanks using white paint hoping to keep the pearlescents alive. But as you see in a couple examples the color difference is such because of the thickness of the material left.
My question is what color do you paint with and should I start doing 2 different colors, one for the top and one for the bottom. It is hard to tell from some of these acrylics just by looking at them how opaque they are. How is everyone handling this situation.
Here is an avacado blank from Exotics which I put on a Majestic.
Here is a red acrylic that I forget the name of on a ultra cigar.
