Would like some information on painting of SL parts built with 5170
resin. In the past when a customer has requested that a part be
painted we have used enamel in spray cans or enamel model paint by
Testors. The spray can method works fine for most. But on parts with
small details controlling the volume of paint being applied can be
tricky. So we decided to let a local model shop paint some parts with
an airbrush using a water based acrylic. The outcome was impressive so
now we have purchased an airbrush and small paint booth that should be
in soon. Any feedback on using water based paints would be
appreciated. Solvent based with a airbrush are available but we would
prefer the water.
thanks
