A weak mixed black or more rarely,white, coating is all we ever used. The paint was 'watered' down with a mix of water and screen wash ideally with of ratio around 4:1:5 paint, screen wash, water. This allowed for strong coverage and great detail to be picked out.

Undercoating in a given block colour was only done with an air brush, as spray cans can be a unsuitably rough/heavy coating unless good quality, good technique is used.
