Yeah your right the first time should always be kept simple. I use both can a air brush. Here are some steps I take when painting.
- Make sure you wash the body good with dish soap.
- Then get a green and yellow Scotch Brite scrub spong and wipe the inside of the body with the green side of the pad. You want it to turn a foggy white. this will creat small scraches inside the body to allow the paint to stick better. Once you paint it you will not see the foggy white color.
- Then wash it one more time.
- Then get your can of spray paint and put it in warm water. You don't what the paint to be cold.
- Then get a hair dryer and place it on med. heat and start applying heat on the body just before you start spraying paint.
- When your ready for paint, spray a little of paint on a cardboard box to make sure the can is spraying like should be.
- Now your ready to paint. Very important, spray only light coats. You should put anywhere between 7 to 10 coats. Take your time that's the key. Once you after each coat hit it with the hair blower. Make sure its about 20" away at med. heat.
- After you have painted all your coats let it sit for 10 t 15 min. Then depending on the color you used. take it out in the sun and hold it up. You are looking for spots you might have missed. Once you have gotten everything painted hit it with white paint. This is normally done when you use a light color paint, such as yellow.
- Now your are ready to pull of the plastic film and ... voila !!!
