I like it a lot but since we did not get any inprogress info , you might fill us in on the paint.

Like where to get it and how to use it ?????

Not exactly a paint I recognise for most builders.

Cheers, Christian B)
 
Thanks!

It's just the cheapo paints from the dollar store or Michaels, this is craft smart brand, my thinner is 50/50 blue washer fluid/ water and a few drops of glycerin. How much you add to the paint is normally also 50/50 thinner/ paint, but not always, just need to experiment along with air pressure. on this I made the paint thin and only sprayed at 8-10 psi. using the badger 105

I tried 1 bottle of Vallejo air A few years ago and didn't like it. It was like rubber that peeled off! This cheap stuff dries dead flat, blast it with the hair dryer and you can't even wash it off with out really scrubbing it. I use my usual dupli-color lacquer clear to seal everything for decaling and finish off with Grumbacher matte varnish.
