Thanks. I've heard of the H2O but not the Krylon Short Cuts. I'm on my way to get some.


Thansk again.

Get an airbrush, and use Parma International Faskolors paint. Water-based, sprays easily, and looks great.

I've never tried airbrushing. How is the overspray?

Testors works well too.

Check out the thread in the 3D electric section called "Bdavison's Guide for "How to paint a Foamy". Ive been working on it for the last few days. It shows how I airbrushed my planes using the Faskolor paints.

Overspray isnt a problem unless you dont have it masked well. Bear in mind that anything that hits white will show up, regardless of whether its a foamy or refrigerator. Just keep everything masked off that you dont want paint on.

I have had good luck with Krylon Short Cuts paint. The small can goes a long way and dries fast. Just be carefull with the flourcent orange beacuse it will attack the foam if it is put on heave.
