And then smoothing things over. In both cases mostly using Aqueous Mr Color since that's what I had in (hopefully) the right shade. It really isn't paint that likes doing this though. It seems to have been made to make smooth, solid, opaque and high gloss paintjobs, possibly good for cars. It's (initially) thick, it's shiny, it seems to self-level and shrink a lot. Force it to be highly localised, small-scale, uneven and to various degrees translucent on the other hand and, well, it gets a bit cranky. Though since I mostly just paint it all over here it works out ok in the end, try free-handing any fuzzy transitions or so on the other hand and things can get painful.
Extra variation was introduced with light brown and light blue in the mottling coat, the latter of which provided a whole lot more light than blue. It mostly ended up very discrete the blend coat, so you'll have to look for it in the previous photo more than this one. The putty masks the black anti-glare and "don't mind the gunpowder soot" parts.
