Awesome job! The gloss of the paint is perfect, color is pretty cool too. The wheels are great, how'd you do them?

Thanks for the replies. I'll look into using future, seems like a good idea. Although, I heard it seems to have problems after some time, such as yellowing and cracking. I'm not too sure about that, so correct me if I'm mistaken. I'll see if I can pick up a can of semigloss black, sounds like it'll speed up my kits abit.

Hello all. I'm an amatuer modeler (I've only built about 3 kits or so) and I was wondering if it's not pratical to use a spray can for small parts, such as interior or suspension components. I am more skilled with using brushes, but I liked the idea of coating a large number of parts rapidly all at once. Airbrushes are most likley less wasteful, but I'm trying to keep some of my costs down. Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. On a side note: I'm currently working on a Tamiya Nissan 300zx (I'll post some pics soon), using a Testors one coat laquar paint. For some reason, every paint job I do gets orange peel or it too flat. Sometimes it's not too bad, other times it can be awful and require a sanding. I have the can pretty close to the model, and the outside temp is about 65 F, but I just can't get it that glossy. Any tips would help.
