PLD-01CR Super Corgi Butts - Clear (Paint Test Spray)

DSPIAE PLD-01CR Super Corgi Butts, a test piece for a trial spray, clear version

An aid for painting, not a paint. The test piece, shaped like a corgi's rear end, serves to let you spray a shade for practice and see it in its final form before you touch the model. This is the clear variant; the manufacturer makes the same aid in a black and in a white version as well. A transparent test piece has one property besides that the opaque variants do not: you can look at the sprayed coat from the back as well and judge how the paint covers and how heavily you have laid it on. That is invaluable with tinting and smoke shades, with which the result cannot be guessed from the look in the bottle.

Use

• A trial spray of a shade before laying it on the model
• Judging the coverage and the weight of the coat when held against the light
• Testing transparent and tinting lacquers, whose result is badly judged on an opaque base
• Comparing several similar shades side by side in the same light
• Starting a color library of your own that you come back to on later builds

Who the test piece is for

For modelers who work with a larger number of shades and want certainty before they start spraying a finished model. The clear variant suits in particular anyone who often works with transparent shades, smoke lacquers or thin opaque coats and needs to see how much paint there actually is on the surface. With all three versions you get the full picture of how a paint behaves on a dark, a pale and a transparent base.
