So was able to finish painting in one night still need to add decals and little weapons stickers on to the shotgun but over all I'm pretty satisfied. Quick question for anyone who might have the answer? So I am debating on weathering it with a black wash maybe even a little dark brown for rust, even though a Spartan should always keep his weapon clean, but should I clear coat the weapon first and then give it a wash or should I apply the wash first and then clear coat it? Or should I just clear coat it and forget about the wash, I already gave the bang up treatment with silver for scratches and raised edges should that be enough? Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
