Is it just me? I can never get white to spray good it's always to powdery looking or to runnniny arrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggghhhhhhhh

I feel for ya'
White is #1, flesh is #2!!
Especially Tamiya.paints.

I thin them quite a bit and always plan on two or three coats. I go for just this side of powdery and go for multiple coats making it thicker (more pigment) as I go.

Usually I spray white over a coat of light or medium gray primer Usually goes on well with two thin coats Generally I use white spray paint

As I really hate painting I hate white as all of the other colours...

Hi there

I agree with Slodder... I always apply several light coats to get an even coating.

I know Holdfast has been using Halfords white acrylic primer lately and reporting good results, so this could be the answer...

My other "favourite" colour is yellow... it normally needs a white undercoat to look good! Two problems in one...

All the best

Really? I use Model Masters (Acryl), and I get it niiiiice and smooooooth......maybe you're just cursed....

If you have something in a dio at this scale, pure white is usually too bright. I usually start with a very light base with a grey or cream tint and save pure white for highlights. My primer is a very light grey as well which helps.
On the medic with the red-cross bib in my cover-up dio, I painted his great coat first, so when it became time to paint the red-cross bib, it must have taken at least 4 coats to get a decent coverage.
