I have never heard to use purity seal before hairspray. I did a test with salt technique and I worked as expected.

I got the version I used from a bolter and chainsword poster called DV8.

Last night just felt like I couldnt do anything right. The paint was either too thin or too thick. My brush ...

Why the salt technique didn't work?

So I did the basecoat of metal with the Army Painter Platemail Primer. After that was a healthy layer of GW Purity Seal. Then hairspray, then the blue. So when I went to do the chipping it would either take off all the paint down to the bare metal, pull off too ...
