Rob Gosling Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hi guys i have 2 new models to build, A F-86 sabre D and a CB750F Motorcycle, Now the sabre is plastic but needs silver paint and since silver is notoriously hard to brush on would i benifit from using a spray version of the paint?. Also the Cb750f has some chrome on it but mostly plastic so i could paint it with a brush but obviously it won't shine up well etc. So given this info what would you do in my place use spray paint or stick to brush as it's what i've used since starting model making.

You could try a spray can. An airbrush will give a better finish than a brush unless your Claude Monet so if it was me i'd be using that. I do find that Vallejo model air metallics do brush quite nicely though, as do the Citadel paints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Smith Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 If you are Airbrushing, you will do no better than to have a good look at the Alclad range of products on their website. Lots of tips as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
