Black paint


Black painted Ruston

One benefit of sprayed paint over brushed is that the thinner coat hardens a lot quicker. That makes it able to withstand masking tape more quickly, which in turn makes the project progress faster.

After around 10 hours I managed to mask the bufferbeams and in a late-night painting session get a coat of Precision black paint over the body. Again, the model's size made me alter my methods - the paint was mixed up into a bottle for the airbrush rather than a spray cup 'cos I knew I'd need a lot of it.
