Sorry for what may well be a "Noob" question, but...
I am getting back into building after a long break (20 years). I just purchased the very nice Tamiya 1/12 scale "Jagermeister" Porsche 934 and am surprised to see that the paint code for the body corresponds to a Tamiya rattle can and not an airbrush-able bottle pain. The guy at the hobby store assured me that Tamiya rattle cans can actually yield great results if cleaning, priming and sanding steps are taken adequately. I am still a bit suspicious. Can anyone confirm or refute?
