| OK, seeing how guys are shopping...I'll take the 3rd from the right and the fifth from the left!   If off the floor (been there done that) that's fine I'll re-epoxy! Great lookin' spooks! Nice paint! Air brush or rattle cans? |

| I agree with the airbrush being a pain in the ass!!! However, when it comes to using the createx pearlized paints the finishes are really great! One of these days I'll learn how to reduce air pressure enough to draw mackerel lines like H'Islander...  |

Hey Doc, you can make a stencil out of a piece of plastic to do the Mackrel lines too  . It might be easier than free-handing them.I've done it and it works well. Armand | |

| Well I've got an air brush you can try it to see if it's something you want to invest for yourself. Just let me know if you want to use it. Armand |

| Armand...Thanks for the offer! I do have an Iwata Eclipse...nice brush...but I'm not crazy about the feed syatem. Needs bottles and results in lots of wasted paint...I like H'Islander's. Kevin has a small side cup so that you don't need as much of a clean out after each color. Not sure, it might be a Badger. With the Eclipse doing a lot of one color it's no big problem, but when one-at-a-time...a pain! One of these days I('ll see if the paint cup fits my feed system and buy one! |
