I have noticed almost all the close up photos of custom painted models in train mags have a mottled, almost-lumpy, appearance--as opposed to smooth factory finish. Is this because: <br /> A. My eyes are playing games with me <br /> B. Solvent vs acrylic paint--or not the right amount of thinner <br /> C. Aerosol spray can vs. air brush <br /> D. Low vs high quality air brush--or spray not fine enough <br /> E. Model too close to or too far from sprayer <br /> F. Sprayer moved too slowly past model <br /> G. Too many coats of paint--or not enough time between coats <br /> H. Hobbyist propellant spray vs factory electro-static attraction <br /> I.. All of the above <br />
