For my latest build, I was looking for a very light shade of Green and also Grey. Up to now I had always used Halfords rattle cans, but whilst in my local Wilko store I found both the Green and Grey in the shades that I wanted with the added bonus that these are satin finish straight from the can, where Halfords are gloss and normally need toning down a little. So I decide to also buy Wilko primer and also Satin Black to be used on the hull. So far I have only painted the hull and am very pleased with the results obtained. I sprayed a test piece before painting the model and all was well so I also evaluated the Wilko paint for compatibility with Halfords, Humbrol and Tamiya rattler can paints and no evidence of any problems e.g crazing etc. I always give my hulls a protective coat of PlastiKote clear satin lacquer and again no problems. I find the Plastikote product also to be very good and has a long (10 year) shelf life.
