Default Re: What Paint do you Use?

#1- whatever brand has the color that I want. I am not picky on brand.
#2- I have used all 3 types.
#3- Priming is one of the most important steps. Lets you see any flaws that you missed and correct them.
#4- Again, I have used both.
#5- For gloss finishes, it is a must.
#6- Wet sanding for gloss finishes is a must.
#7- I go by what the manufacturer says. Last truck was left for twice as long as recommended and I still had problems with the paint. You need to go by what you see on the model.

Painting is probably the worst part of building for me. I am never satisfied with how things turn out except when doing military vehicles which almost anything will work!!

I hope that this will help!!
