alf aphid Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Looking good have you sourced the paint yet? I had a right mare with some I’d bought off eBay that would just not set, stayed tacky for ages ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got Fordson Oxford Blue (Midnight blue.) from Nigel at Scaledown but it has been to cold to spray at the moment so it is still in it's primer coat.

GPS Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Kieran, are you using an airbrush or can?. I'm interested in how scaledown enamel tins are for use in an airbrush... I have one I've never used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scaledowns own enamel paints go perfectly through an air brush, just thin it down with thinners until it flows through the airbrush. I have used loads it the past through mine.

As Chris stated, just thin the enamel paint with thinners and build up the colour with a number of coats. With the current climate I would leave 24 hrs between coats.
