Thanks Ski, you have no idea how useful your advices are to me.

I did repaint all the commissions I have gotten cowls, with the exception of TheFiend, he requested that it wasn't necessary. I think I'm up to around the 20 headsculpts count on this commission and thank god it's over.

You could do two things in order to fix the texture of the cowl, it just depends on which one you are most comfortable in doing and that you can pull off with the skillset. I would either tape of the mouth and eyes and keep the most exposed areas open whenever your primer and prep the head for painting. You'll always want to primer your heads so the paint adheres and gives you a nice smooth finish. Primer the head and see if that smooth-ens the texture a bit, (let it dry an 1hr or more, VERY IMPORTANT), make sure that you are putting on thins coats at every primer as well otherwise you will be finding yourself stripping the head and starting over from scratch. Then repeat the steps again in the desired texture is not accomplished. This should give you a smoothened or at-least a better texture than what was casted originally.

Option 2, sand paper, 400 grit or the smoothess sand paper that you can find in fine quality. I'm not sure how rough the casting is on MRM's cowl is but I would judge that on how gritty I need the sane paper to be. Either way you are going to using 400 or higher to get that fine texture to where it's silk feeling. Also if you have a Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Autozone etc.. they have plumbing sand paper which works really well with water, it's also a method used on copper pipes that run in our plumbing of our houses and what not. Just dip the water sand paper into the water and work it's way onto the resin. That's also important as I'm not sure what this is casted in, rubber, plastic, or resin? Being that I'm guessing a resin, then it's going to take some elbow grease and it's going to be a labor of love.

Both of these options will work it just depends on which one you are most comfortable using, the primer method is great if you are good at cutting tape and getting it exact to where you don't primer spots that don't need the texture remove/smoothened.

Long story short, both methods are going to require patience.

I had no idea about the surfece primer!! It sound pretty useful in this case.. this is a picture of the MRM cowl (the one from the right):

I'll take the option number one, since it seems to be reversible, unlike the sand paper

IMO, here's how I created the effect because it's not exactly a flat black, most of cowls that are out there are not flack black, there's a gray undertone to them, so whatever primer you are using just get a gray tone or if your primer is not grey, then you will need to paint the first couple layers of it a medium grey. The next step would be to have a dilute black or watered down black. Another labor of love step with being patient and applying the light black in layers until it's uniform across the surface and it's all one layer around the entire cowl.

Hope that helps,

Ski

What of these Vallejo primer should be the best as base?
