Painting Conte American GI in ww2? (1 Viewer)

[redsoldiercollector]

Which color from Valejo, Luiquitex, or any high quality acrylic would be best for the pants? I have a military brown from MOnogram, but it does not dry very well and tends to chip when I handle figures regularly. I have a green gold from Luiquitex that covers like a wash on the first coat. Any suggestions?

Both are quality brands. It's not uncommon for certain acrylic colors to require multiple coats for proper color saturation, so you may just need to repeat the application until you are satisfied with the results. Also, coverage will depend on the color of your undercoat - a darker undercoat will require more applications of a lighter color.
