Use Kantor Blue as your main base colour and build it up with thin, controlled coats. It has excellent coverage. It works best over a black primer. Thin it lightly. Good companion colours include Macragge Blue, Drakenhof Nightshade, Calgar Blue and Nuln Oil.
Do not force the basecoat into an NMM-style finish. It behaves much better in a standard layered workflow.
