I'm contemplating taking up the art of painting my aircraft. I enjoy the building but I have simply never been very good with vinyl covering materials like monokote and such. I've gotten better over the years but in my modeler's heart I know I could paint a better job.

Problem is - I don't know where to begin.

I think my first project will probably be a Sig King Kobra; I just recently finished a Kougar and am happy with it but the finish left a bit to be desired even though it looks okay. I believe I could do a nice job fiberglassing it and then painting a decent finish. I'm familiar with some of the brands of paint but my hang-up is how do I apply it?

Air Brush, HPLV spray gun?

So - that's my question.

What is your paint setup and how do you do things - show me some examples if you can.

Thanks!
