paint prep

[modelbuilder22]

Iam new to the hobby only on my 2nd model build. Iam takin my time on paint on this one. My question is after sanding the body and washing it how long do I have to wait to paint and should I wear gloves while painting, so I won't get finger prints all over the body. Also I ordered an pasache h airbrush from Dixie art can't wait till I get it as it will be my first air brush.

i tend to use a bent up metal coat hanger taped to the inside of the body so i dont have to touch it at all... the gloves are your choice really i dont personaly... and the drying time depends on were you put it to dry off ( if its air drying ) i leave it a day or so...( if its with aids such as hair dryer) just dry it till fully dry all over but pay more attention to creases and stuff ... i dont know anything about air brushes as i use rattle cans... hope that helps you out a bit . stu
