I prefer model acrylic paints to enamels. My favorite, Polly-S, is out of business, but I understand that the Polly-Scale Railroad colors are being continued. Acrylics dry faster, and seem to give a flatter finish. Also, Polly-Scale is brushable, so you don't need an airbrush. Depends on the model. Interior and hard to reach spots have to be painted beforehand. Some post assembly painting is needed as touch-up anyway.

Fortunately for the paint manufactures, and unfortunately for you, that's something you have to find out yourself. Different guns tend to like different paint. Other factors such as the weather, how fresh the paint is, etc., can all effect how well your paint performs for you. There are a few brands which are well known for their high quality, however they still may not perform in your gun as well as a less popular paint.

Keep in mind that no matter what paint you use on wood it won't hold up forever when exposed to the elements. Just look at an old painted wooden house ? that's what you'll get in time: Pealing, cracking, discoloring, etc. There are lots of different opinions about painting and you can always ask a professional painter or someone experienced at your local paint store if you want a second opinion.

That is one of those things that is completely dependant on you and what you feel most comfortable using. There are, fortunately, lots of free packages that all work in slightly different ways. Some of the packages I've used and suggest you try that are free are: Maya PLE- Maya's light weight version, unfortunately, does not save to .3ds which is a common format to translate to .dts from. Blender - Has plugins to save to MANY common formats, unfortunately, the .

A good latex paint will do. You want to use latex paint that is specified for use on concrete walls. For basements, you can also put in an additive call Killz, which will reduce the tendency for mold and mildew to grow.

In developed countries you can buy flat-black spray paint that says "non-toxic when dry" on the label. Otherwise, black tempera paint works, but you have to be careful not to wash it off when you wash the pot. Solar cookers in Uganda report that they use aluminum pots that have been blackened on the outside by fire.

To get the best paint job with the least effort, the applicator is just as important as the paint that's used. To decide which kind of applicators to use, consider the following:

POR-15 likes rusted surfaces best. Seasoned metal and sandblasted metal are also good. POR-15 does not adhere well to smooth, shiny surfaces, but will adhere well to those surfaces with the proper preparation.

Wind Mill primarily utilizes RTF (ready to finish) panels. These painted panels produce a smooth, uniform painted surface. They eliminate the need for priming and sanding, as well as imperfections in the substrate surface. Wind Mill uses water based paints on the RTF painted panels. B. The MDF surface painted panels are produced using an acrylic waterbased paint applied approximately 2 – 4 mls. thick (depending on the color – black is a lacquer finish).

Acrylics are best. Clean the jacket with warm soapy water. Use a 'flexible medium' if possible. If using Liquitex brand you may get away without. You can varnish with with clear acryclic coating to protect further. T-Shirts can be done above but the flexible medium is essential. This way is better than buying fabric paints.

I actually don't use paint at all. I use a safe, FDA approved, hypo-allergenic, airbrush make-up to apply the designs. So the material is safe on the persons skin and they won't break out in a rash or grow a third arm.

Yes. Eurolux House Paint is suitable for all wood exterior surfaces. Many clients, however, prefer to use Hollandlac or Eco Brilliant Enamel on doors and shutters. We have seen a great deal of damage done over the years by power-washers, and we do not recommend their use except in the hands of professional house washers, operating from ladders or boom trucks.

Moisture levels of exterior wood are normally lowest in September and October. Temperature and humidity are typically ideal for proper drying during the autumn months when most house painters paint their own homes (this rule does not apply to the Pacific Northwest where it sometimes never stops raining).

This depends on the product in question. Always check the mixing and application directions for each specific product you plan to use.

acrylic topcoats are typically the best due to color retention properties and flexibility. It is important, however, to use an oil based primer before using the acrylic topcoat when painting over bleeding woods like Redwood or Cedar. A complete acrylic system may be used on all other non-bleeding woods.
