Since I dont have an Airbrush set yet. I use spray paint. Works fine.

There's a lot of information in these threads on XMF about airbrush painting.

You can use airbrushes or you can use spray paint. Whichever you find better for your situation.

Getting a glossy black finish is probably the hardest finish you could have picked. Black shows every imperfection present, and you'll be very disappointed if you rattle-can it. Trust me, I've learned the hard way and airbrush is the way to go for sure.

Painting is a very time-consuming, tedious process.

red with black racing stripes
