Okay so I had a go at my idea for my Covenant ships, purple/green flip paint. Those familiar with my Eldar will recognise the paint....
First attempt I tried to paint straight onto the Purple plastic...
As you can see this failed.
Second, I did one pair undercoated white and one undercoated black...
The flip paint literally had no effect on the white undercoat, another failure....
Attempt 3 was flip paint over black undercoat...
This was much more successful and it is likely the scheme I will go for on the bulk of my fleet although it has been suggested I triy grey primer under the flip paint too.
Just as a bit of an experiment I tried a pair in red too (to represent the Brutes)...
I'm planning on doing some shading on the Purple/White/Red pairs to bring out some detail but then doing the rest of my fleet in the Black undercoate with Purple/Green flip paint.
