What paint should i use for modeling kits?
I got an airfix kit for christmas, and want to get some white spray paint to use as a base coat. Any recommendations on what would be a good one to get for modeling? The same stuff that people would use for warhammer and that sort of thing would be great.
Is there a difference between painting and spraying? I just assumed spraying would be easier and would be easier to get into nooks and crannies.
I’ve also seen people talking about having to coat clear bits in ‘Future’, sanding and polishing, is all of that really necessary? How much will the paint job differ?
Warhammer paints are acrylic – I and they just don’t get on so I use (mostly) Humbrol enamels which are smellier and need white spirit for cleaning brushes as opposed to the acrylics. A friend is the opposite, he gets great results with acrylics and terrible with enamels.
For over all spray painting I sometimes use Halford’s tins of ready mixed spray paint. Be careful here, most car spray paint is now acrylic but if it’s cellulose based your model will turn into one big glob of dissolved plastic.
Halfords do a basic white undercoat in acrylic spray which will do the job, then your top coats can be either acrylics by Warhammer, Humbrol or Revell or enamels, or even a mix of both.
