2 Tone Paint Schemes using Insignia White

[Cobra]

Hey Guys, Being Inspired by a Profile i Requested From Mav, I'm Planning to do a 'World Air Force' SR-71! the Scheme is White with Grey Unsides, Would Insignia White be a Good Choice or Should i use Something Else? Could use your Input. this is Something that would be hard to Find with Google. Thanks for looking.Dan

I'd suggest a gloss white for the scheme Dan.  Equally so, gloss grey to compliment it as it isn't a 'camouflage' per se, more a Hi Viz type scheme.

i bought some Gloss Navy Gray for the undersides, it's the Top i want to be Sure about. the Insignia White i have is Enamel, think that would Work? that's why i posted. Dan

Provided it's a gloss enamel I'd say it would be fine Dan.  I've always had issues with large areas of flat white whether enamel or acrylic.

Thanks. I might buy some to be on the Safe Side, i Almost bought a Model Car Color called 'Classic White', it's a Gloss Enamel. Stay Cool. Dan

For painting large areas, especially with white paint, you might get better result with using spray can. Just my 2cents....

Or an airbrush.  I'd also recommend priming a flat light grey, to prevent the black from coming through and give the gloss a better grab.

Well, as far as undercoat/prime colour goes, if looking for bright white, might be better to use silver undercoat/prime, rather than grey.
