e, just curious: Are you priming the miniatures with black and then
painting them all over with white?
 
If so, why not just prime them with white?
 
When I do my tank miniatures, I decide what the main color is going to
be if it is a multi-color camo job and prime it with the color. Then I
bake it (as described previously) and then do the second, third (fourth,
fifth) camo colors.
 
The less paint you put on the mini, the better, so if the primary color
is white, prime it with white, and that gives you one less layer
obscuring the fine detail.
 
Where are you located, BTW? Any chance you are in New Jersey?

Ok, the white coat is on.  Took 4 tries to get the black primer to
not show through.  Pictures in the same place.

For the photographers on the list:  I took pictures with a cloth blue
background and a flat back foamboard background.  The camera had issues
with the black.  Any ideas why?  Same minis, same lighting, taken within
minutes of each other.
