Default Painting with a brush?

I just picked up a Blazer CGR body and want to know what paint works best for brush painting the interior? I will be painting from the underside but that shouldn't matter.

You could use a water based acrylic, like Faskolor with a brush, but it's very tricky to get a uniform finnish. Take a look at this idea:

Now thats some ingenuity, only bad thing is the spray isnt very consistant and is blotchy.

Id give it an A for execution though

Use the acrylics, Faskolors. Use a soft round brush. it'll take 3-4 layers. hold up to the light to see if you have on enough coats. Back it with faskolor chrome not white or black. The silver color is very forgiving and you won't see as many, if any, light or dark areas as you would backing it with the white or black. Ater you've backed it with silver then you can back it with black and then apply your sealer, faskote sealer works great. Check out my work, I paint with a brush all the time!
good luck

Nice work. Thanks for the tips. I found the Faskolors yesterday at a local hobby store.

I have always used the $0.49 stuff found at the hobby store in the craft section. Has always worked good for me.
