<P>All the above Info is great with one exception. When Ever I use a spray can let it sit in a sink of very warm water! This allows the paint to thin and the propelent in the can to expand. I find you get a better coverage with the thiner paint as well as a little more control with warm paint, rather then room tempature ( Keep in mind that even if the room temp is 75 deg the paint is usually 5-10 degrees cooler). Also I prefer to use an airbrush because you can control the consistancy of the paint. as well as the air flow ( with compressor and regulator) I have been painting for the last 12 years ( I am 24) and have been airbrushing for 6 of the 12 years. I do a lot of car model painting as well as starships, and do 1:1 body work for a hobby. If you have any questions I will try to help the best I can.</P> <P>Curt</P>
