RMweb Gold 57xx Posted April 28, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 28, 2013 Have to agree, you made the right choice sticking with the brush, that looks great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian777999 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 That is an excellent result. If I could brush paint that well then I would not even bother with an air brush. By the way, I use a cheap $15 single action air brush from China and it gives good results ; you can find them on ebay. Your only real expense is the compressor but there are now some very cheap models around which work quite well. Some of them are designed for air brushing fingernails.

RMweb Gold Ruston Posted May 28, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 28, 2013 I( would suggest spraying the brass with Halfords Grey Primer this will give a much better surface to pint onto, than direct onto brass I would suggest that, rather than Halfords grey primer, you use an etch primer for brass. I paint my locos with brushes but spray them with etch primer from can first. Halfords may do an etch primer but I buy mine from my local car parts shop and I've no idea what make it is.
