Decal masks

[paddy]

When you spray a decal mask like a roundel on a British aircraft over the camo, what do you do with a light colour like yellow ? I dont want to use a white base as i want to be able to chip and wear it in place ?

I still use a flat colour when doing red, white, yellow as the pigmentation seems denser. So I would paint the circle flat yellow and then depending on what I am trying to do, over spray that with a gloss yellow. I have also had luck with Tamiya paints mixing a bottle of flat colour with gloss colour for a semi gloss.
