well, i wouldnt say im new to paints, i have been a body tech for about 12 years now. BUT, i am new to hobby painting though.. i'm aware you have to be careful with putting types of paints over others, but i was just wondering what brush paints look better than others. i notice with my very first project in years, that the testors paints are kind of crappy. i believe they are enamels, i'm not sitting right in front of them right now, but i think they are enamels. ive noticed it takes a lot to cover the white up, and the brush strokes show as well. it's probaly just me, im sure, being new and all, but i try to go in just one direction when brushing, but it still seems to look kind of bad. maybe it's time for an airbrush, i'm used to useing base/clear or single stages, and rubbing out, on real cars that is, not small plastic ones..lol.. thanks for all the answers guys!
