[foxbat426]

please post your can painted models. would love to see how proficient builders are with cans vs the airbrush. is there really that big a difference??

[timc]

Ok here's mine.no air brush ...just cans. sorry for blurry pics.

If you click on the link in my signature line, all my builds are done using the can

Here is something you should think about, its not just about using the can or airbrush, its how you prep and how you finish the paint job.

If you take the time to wetsand and polish the paint, it does not matter what you use to lay done the paint.

This was done using Model Master Lacquer paint out of a can

And here it is after clear coating it and the wetsanding and polishing , only did the hood, roof , deck lid

I use cans quite a bit. Two tone doesn't matter either, careful masking is the key.

Wayne, love those old police cars, great job on those my friend, is the last one from NV?, cant see the the emblem clear enough to make it out

[Erik Smith]

I use Rattle cans (Duplicolor and Tamiya) for most of my bodies and Airbrush for metalizers, Alclad II, and other smaller parts.

[Nick Winter]

they are Duplicolor straight from the can (I did prime before paint and clear then polish after paint)

[deja-view]

Well, all my cars are "can painted". I have an airbrush but don't know how to use it.

Thank you I used Testors Ultra Gloss clear lacquer from the can with a polishing kit on those builds. Edited March 11, 2012 by Tonioseven

All done from Tamiya rattle cans. I do have an AB, but rarely use it. Tim Boyd did a article recently about fade jobs from a can. Very interesting read.

I use spray bombs for bodies. Airbrushes are great for spraying engine blocks.

Model Master Black:

Testors Honduras Maroon:

Model Master Black:

I don’t even remember which brand, but I do recall this was my second try. To shoot the translucent green over the yellow, I taped a cardboard mask to the roof that hung over the side midsection about ¼” off the surface. Day glo paint has no shine, so it must be cleared. Regrettably, I didn’t know about “silvering” at the time, wish I had clearcoated before I added decals.
