Thanks, very good!

So, how do you hold he body? With the hand or any holding device?

My thinking is to avoid to get paint at the hand since the lacquer is harder to remove than the water based ones?

I hold it in my hand but I wear gloves on both hands and mask.

How quick with the next layer of spray?

I wear gloves on hands but not on the mask: the fingers kept inflating when I exhaled, making a very disturbing sight for anybody nearby. The un-gloved mask seems to work well enough for me.

How quick with the next layer of spray?

The first should be a mist layer. It should dry pretty quickly. The next are light coats too and they usually dry with a minute or two. I use a dual action airbrush so I can also just spray air at the paint and help it dry faster.

Excellent!

Good tip's for a novice!

Do you paint all the interiors from just the inside or do you paint on the outside as well?

I have been painting interiors but I can't seem to get the amount of detail you do all I have done is painted them from the inside.
They turnout nice but I just can't get the detail.

Thanks Danny

NOOOSSSE! I have admired your work for the longest time from the shadows And I find it quite inspiring.



So, With that being said, ( I'm also sure this has been asked the question before) What is your paint of choice for your detail work? Would it be One Shot?



Thanks for your reply!...................Slot on! .......................Big John

[Noose]

Yes, all the lettering is done with One Shot. Others detailing such as back area, etc, I pretty much use it as well as Parma Faskolors.

Hi again,

Which type of 1 shot colour are you using?

Are your fine writing/lettering done by airbrush or a fine paintbrush? Freehand or masks?

Lastly the fine lines between fields are they masked with thin tape?

Happy for your answers!

[Noose]

Hi again,

Which type of 1 shot colour are you using? They are all the same and call 1 Shot Professional Enamels

Are your fine writing/lettering done by airbrush or a fine paintbrush? Freehand or masks? All lettering is done with a fine brush freehand

Lastly the fine lines between fields are they masked with thin tape? All are hand done with a fine brush and pin striped on.

Happy for your answers!

Thanks for the info, Joe!

[JoB]

Since 1 shot list so many products on their website thats why I asked which of the different enamels to use, but maybe the is the one to use?



So which pin striping brush are you using? Is there any you recommend?

Thanks for all you good tips!

[Noose]

Yes, the lettering enamel is it. I use Golden Talon brushes in sizes from 18/0 up to 1.0 and round and liner versions. I also have some of their medium temperature reducer for thinning.

[JoB]

I use Golden Talon brushes

I can't find a Golden Talon brush, but a Golden Taklon brush is at Dickblick for example .
Is that the one you refer to?

[Noose]

Sorry, yes.
