Hello Everyone,
I am wondering people's opinions of paints for motor parts that will be brush painted.
I am starting my first model car kits in many years. Over the last few years i have done miniature models and figure models. For these kits I used acrylic paints. Mostly GW miniature paints and some craft paints as well. I have also tried a little airbrushing with Tamiya paints and had good luck with them on figure models.
My first model attempt is a Revell 1970 Chevelle. The color call out is for Chevy Engine Red. I could use some acrylic paints I have, or I could try Model Masters. I see they have that color in both enamel and acrylic. I plan on brush painting the motor, tranny, etc.
When using Acrylics in the past the finish is usually flat. I do not like brush painting with the Tamiya paints, as they seem to thin for me. Will the enamel paint give me a more realistic finish for the motor parts?
Any advice would be a great help to the new guy
