I Am Wanting To Paint My Spare Body Kit , But Without A Airbrush Kit At The Moment I Went To My Local Art Shop And The Cheapest Airbrush They Had Was £160 ( $300 ) lol .

And Im Not Really Confident In Using A Spray Can

Do You Think Its Worth Trying To Paint With A Brush , Or Has Anyone Else Found Another Good Way To Paint There Xmods

If you paint it with anything other than an airbrush or spray can, it will look like crap. Unless you are blown and hand paint lots of little details,then clear coat and sand, it will look like crap.

Get a spray can, and practice on your xmods case, keep in mind the weather and paint will act up in the cold, just don't paint it with a brush or anything of that nature.

If it is available near you, try krylon fusion. It works pretty well and if you let it set for a week or two before you run it, the paint has great scratch resistence.

No priming is necassary, just wash it well and wash your hands. Make sure it is a clean work area. As I said before the xmod case works great for practicing.

I was giving him an example of the Fusion paint, it lays coats a little thick, but it is a driveable paintjob.
