yhea im kinda new to modeling so i;ve taken it slow. i've started out with some Testor's kits like the Saleen S7 and Boss 302 (hot rod mag) the S7 was pre painted as the Boss 302 was. i applied the sticker decals on them both. i want to purchase an enzo/360 model but that would need real decals, soaked in water and all that
i wanted to know how to do that and one more thing
the S7 model needs the vents painted and thats it, i will choose testor's flat black paint. do i need thinner? do i need finish? i am painting ontop of prepainted metallic red/orange on a metal body.
on the boss 302 the black is chipped, the silver on the doors and all that is messed up and the white stripes paint coat was way way way to thin. i'm not sure what kind of paint it is but i'll be selecting silver, flat black and flat white
and some scratches on my 1/18 models have pissed me off so i'm going to touch them up too
do i need thiner? i have the colors. do i need finish?
what sized brush should i get? what are some tips like should i mix the paint
dilute it with water, concentrate it?? i am planning to get into modeling and i need some n00b tips to get me started,
any help will be thanked
thanks
anyone who has tips email me at (pm me for email)
as well as posting here cuz i get the stuff tommorrow but wont be on till next week i think
