For example a figurine that has a lot of trims or intricate parts where it’s constantly separating from red to gold. I tend to put them on and have a small area past where it shouldn’t be and then touch it up with the base colour later. For me metallics always go on easier when you don’t have to worry about colouring in the lines. tradevenue.se/ |

Not unless they are late Medieval figs with lots of plate armor.
Though your idea is interesting.

Depending upon the paints you might want to add the metallic paints last.
Most will probably be OK, but I did have problems years ago with oil based model paints painting stars etc. on shields of 20mm Lamming figures.

If I'm dry brushing armour, either chainmail, plate or scale, I certainly do that first and then the remaining colours.
Cheers,

I work inside outwards. First I paint any flesh, then any garments etc then any armour over that and fiddly shields, belts etc last.

Unless I happen to have a color that I want to do more of (production line - get as many figures with the current color as practicable) in a current session and so pull in figures out of 'sequence,' I am with cromwell in this (although a Royalist otherwise).
Start with the flesh and then garments followed by armor (if present) and then the fiddly bits...

The only time I would do the metalics first would be on foot knights in plate armour, otherwise I would start with the flesh and work outwards...blades and boots last.

I tend to paint cloths and stuff first - including chainmail etc if the models have them, and then dark wash those (and even touch up/highlight) if needed. Then I'll do lighter flesh and then wash.highlight those,
