What's the white frosting?

First step in an 'enhanced' streaking effect. Caused by bleaching of a clear coat that has been doped with an excessive amount of flattening agent.

The model is painted in the basic colors; then weathered with various mediums; then given a protective clear coat; followed by the bleached clear coat; followed by vertical removal of selected surfaces with a mild solvent-soaked stiff brush.











Rinse and repeat till you get the look you want.
