STEP 8: Painting and weathering
21. Paint the entire structure with the base color to
prepare it for detail painting and weathering.

I find it easier to paint the entire structure with the
base color first. This is a personal preference due to
the way that I weather my structures, and the fact
that I can paint the sections by hand quite easily.
Because the add-on trim parts are white styrene,
primer allows me to use only two coats of the
final color, as opposed to several coats if they are
not undercoated first.
