Morning all, Ian here's a trick an old painter told me that i use, first put a line of 1mm tape down each outside edge, then a second line of 2mm overlaping the first line, then a third line overlaping the second and so on until all white is covered then spray the red coat, ,just make sure all tapes are pressed down tight so as no paint creeps under, hope this helps willie

morning mikey, i use mr muscle oven cleaner in a pie type dish and leave overnight,then wash with warm soapy water and toothbrush then wash in clean water untill clean this works for me, others may have other ideas willie

morning all, have not tried tamiya paint remover but i use revell colour mix thinners,(the one with the dark blue lable not the light blue) i brush it on then wipe off,do small areas at a time,i have also found that polyclense brush cleaner also works and can be washed with water,i keep a small bottle of cleaner for cleaning humbrol paint off my brushes and the "dirty" cleaner is a bit milder so takes a bit longer.as i say this works for me if you try it do so carefully hope this makes sense Willie

morning all, here's the reply i recieved from hycote Hi Bill, Many thanks for your recent enquiry, Hycote double acrylic paints are based on air drying acrylic resin with solvent carriers (acetone and xylene) to optimise the spray pattern in the aerosol at around 80 Psi. If you decant the paint and all the propellant has evaporated the viscosity should be quite low, so standard paint pressure in a airbrush should give good results. Obviously the pressure will be a lot less than the pressure in the aerosol, but I do not foresee any other problems. I have included a data sheet for your evaluation Regards Paul Clitheroe Product Development Tel +44 161 627 9247 Fax +44 161 627 0971 i have used in an airbrush using light coats with good results,chris you can buy a starter set from revell that uses a propellent can and give airbrushing a try it doesen' take long to master and its good fun, Willie

Morning all, i've been using HYCOTE DOUBLE ACRYLIC with good results, the RANGE have a good selection of original car colours,spray using light coats,the price is quite cheap as well use a primer first,try test spraying first,also look on HYCOTE's website, good luck Willie

Morning all, go to ebay,type in "862/5 indy blue paint",it will take you to car touch up paint from paint suppliers,most of these can be thinned and put thrugh an air brush but email the supplier first and ask what thinners to use,i have used these on 1/9 motorbikes with good results, hope this helps willie
