Painting Ab Buttons


Eagle

Recommended Posts

Does anyone one have any tips on painting round ab buttons? I've tried twice now and I cant seem to get it right. I'm aiming for centurion. I'm using UKS AM and Anovos build threads as reference. My kit is AM.

Thanks!

I use a whole punch in some decal sheet and use those as a templates.

 

Sometimes it can be the brush you use with painting.

Steady hand or mask and paint or you can use decals which looks like paint will last longer as paint will rub off in time ;)

I just recently painted my ab plates too and found it really helpful to paint the black underneath first.

(At least on a few screen suits the buttons were painted black before grey and blue.)

That way I already had a rough guide before I applied the top coats grey and blue.
