    Thanks Fermatgom. If you do your first base coat of yellow with white or light grey mixed in it will cover better, then paint a second coat with just the yellow, you could need a third coat depending on how bright the yellow is.Then start your highlights and shadows.By mixing white or light grey to the first base coat it makes it more opaque hence makes it cover better. Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    John.

    I have painted this uniform and I found it a pig to be honest.
    Enjoy it though mate - you seem to have it nailed from where I'm sat!
