Paint your minis with their predominant color. when finished. Alternatively, paint the whole mini the recessed skin color: this allows you to paint the recessed flesh bits, quickly, sloppily, after which you paint the higher bits and bobs. I typically primer my minis with Gray Automotive Spray Primer, using the cheapest I can find, at Wal-Mart. Then I paint the whole mini using the color of choice (leaning more towards the recessed skin color, like shown here, on a batch of my Gnolls). Then paint the higher levels of armor, weapons, and gear, that differ from the recessed skin color: finished Gnolls. Here is a batch of 1/72 scale Anubis Warriors, primered in black, then given a blue wash. Here are some examples of nearly finished Anubis Warriors (still needing an application of Tudor Minwax on their outfits weapons, and other bits and bobs, to bring out the fine details, as well as sealing and protecting them. This is similar to the approach I took with painting Green and Tan plastic Army Men figures, back in 1998. Here are some tan plastic Lionesses which I just brushed The Dip onto their bare plastic, and of course I decorated their bases, too. It has taken me this long to connect the dots, and only then because someone else connected the dots for me... This painting approach can save you a lot of time. Cheers!

Never thought of painting the skin over the whole model first. Course, I tend to paint the more recessed areas first, then move on from there.
