Stickman I found your guide very easy to follow and not lacking in any way, the only thing I did different was I kept the hair dryer going on other parts while I sprayed the one already heated, that way I didn't have to worry about stopping and having the material in the airbrush separate. I also filled 2 other airbrush bottles with the warmed and shaken material and then just had to give them a quick shake before screwing them on the brush.
Also it helps to place the canned air in a pan of warm water while you are spraying, it keeps the pressure the same no matter how long you spray.

I think there are a few of us who find it hard to believe the above was your first AR build, and your first go at refinishing!! Great ideas, keeping the other parts warm while spraying certainly speeds up your refinishing time. Just remember that however you choose to do it, keep all your parts warm so that you don't have to worry about drips or sags. It also keeps your respraying time much shorter as it dries as soon as it hits the surface!
Another idea that I use is to keep my Norrells in a bucket of warm water, this keeps it warm. Its easier to shake, as well as easier to apply this way, especially in the colder weather.Last edited by Stickman; 2 December 2007 at 12:56.
