I've got a figure I'm working on that has a decent amount of yellow on him. Nowhere near any joints though.
Certain pieces are turning out fine, using a light brown undercoat and yellow then on top of it.
Other pieces just won't hold (different type of plastic maybe?), especially the head. It keeps coming out looking runny and watery. I don't want to keep putting more on there because then it will lose the details of the head underneath the globs of paint.
I am going to try a paint from Hobby Lobby tonight, the kind I used on Bullhorn that seemed to work well. Does anyone have any trade secrets on how to make it stick better?

The best advice I can give is to start with a white base. This make all the difference in the world.

I concur with John... For Clamps I started with a Base coat of Krylon Flat white spray paint, and topped it with 4-5 layers of Tamyia Yellow accrilic.

By best friend for yellow is Krylon yellow spray paint, especially over Krylon white primer. Once done, do a coat of Krylon matte clear coat. Here is my example.

I do a white base coat too.

Holy Zombie Thread!

Can I do a layer of white primer followed by yellow?

Or do I need primer, then white paint, then yellow?

Matt said he did the yellow over the White primer so should be fine...
