I've managed to start laying down some colour. The artist's acrylic I was going to use ended up being to bright. It looked like Day-Glo paint!! Though It sprayed fine through my airbrush and also dried fine. Instead I have toned it down a bit though as you can see from the pics, it's still quite bright! Still experimenting with paint, it is now sprayed with emulsion paint thinned with Windex,. Again it came out fine and I'm very pleased with the results and definitely recommend trying it. The interior and engine block is sprayed with pearlescent white artists acrylic. There's still a lot of work to do yet but getting there slowly.
