I still put too much back down - then kick myself for not trusting myself with a lighter layer.

Also - thinner paints and lower pressure = nice fades.

Lastly
Buy some of Jon's RCS Body Prep - never paint a fade without using it first - it's an anti static spray that stops spray / mist adhering to the shell through static It's awesome.
Great tips. Cheers.
And just a quiz, can you tell which shells of yours were my inspiration 😀
