Please tell me if this is wasting people's time. I have attached a photo of my attempt at airbrushing enamel paint on my cleo test playfield. I am absolutely rapt with the result. It's glossy, smooth and my cutting out of the frisket was good.
The humbrol paint flowed well out of the airbrush at a 50/50 mix of enamel thinner and paint. I cut around the frisket a bees dick from the black line as retropin, Gav, reckons the eye won't really pick it up and saves time in redoing the line.
Where I think I failed was in the prep work. I'm hopeless at filling holes and making them smooth but again you don't notice it unless you plant your nose on the pf and get a magnifier out.....well maybe a little exaggeration. The bits of missing paint would be touched up with a fine brush if I was planning on doing a good job on this pf.
All in all I think I'll go enamel with my spacies. Confidence is high. I will start a resto sme time soon.
Thanks for listening
