Title: Paint
Post by: kattz on April 28, 2020, 07:21:02 PM
I did a search on this on the forum, but there seems to be no consensus.  What are you using for paint for your parts and panels?

I have had extremely bad luck with the Krylon combined primer/paint in spray bombs.  Just wondering what everyone is using.

Thanks - sorry if it's posted somewhere else and I didn't see it.

Unless it is for huge areas I use scale model paint in spay cans. Tamiya Gunship grey is perfect for 737. no primer needed on plastic.

Interesting. I have some metal surfaces that need to be painted, not having good luck.  Might try the Testors...  Thanks!

Tamiya has a better choice of colors.
