Painting Plamo kits (plastic models) can be both a relaxing and creative hobby, but it can also be a challenge for beginners. In this blog post, we share some secrets and tips for successful painting of your Plamo kits.
Preparation is key
Before you even begin to paint, it's important to properly prepare your Plamo kit. Start by carefully washing all parts to remove any oils or dust that might affect paint adhesion. Use a mild soap and warm water for best results. Once the parts are clean and dry, you can move on to the next step.
Choose the right tools and materials
To achieve the best results, you need to have the right tools at hand. A basic set of brushes in various sizes, plastic glue, and sandpaper are essential. But to truly take your painting to the next level, consider investing in an Army Painter Wet Palette, which you can find here. It helps keep your paints moist and blendable throughout the painting process.
Painting techniques and tips
When you start painting, it's important to have patience and work in thin layers to get an even and smooth surface.

Using primer spray
Applying a primer spray before you start painting can make a big difference. It helps the paint adhere better and provides a smoother surface to work on.
Final finish
Once you have finished painting your Plamo kits, it's time to apply a final finish or varnish to protect your creation and prevent the colors from fading over time.
