A few tips...
 

I'm painting a body that requires a shadow. I read somewhere you could do this using black paint and just splatter it on gently. Is there any other ways of creating a decent shadow? Also, is Humbrol enamel paint ok or should i check in with some proper polycarbonate painy? I practiced with the enamel one on a bottle and it's holding ok....Thanks

Yes, I used enamel paint once and it worked well, although I used it as a backing coat for prismatics...

As for the shadows...just be sure to use a very small nozzle and practice on a piece of lexan...thats all I can think of...

(also I think your enamel paint will spray a finer mist than the acrylic I was using)
