    If you are new to this then Acrylic is the best way to go for flat finishes. Use floor polish ('Future' is a good brand in the US) applied on top of acrylic to gloss up the finish. For a newbie, I'd say using a brush is the safest method, as shown in this video.

    And a good tip..drill some small holes in the metal cuffs that hold the paint hairs. that way the mineral spirits you use when cleaning it will penetrate deeper into the area where they are compressed and thus extending the lifespan for your paintbrush. Works for me :)

    It's hard to say, if you are starting from scratch we would recommend Humbrol Acrylic, it's fast drying, easy to use and you can clean your brushes with water.

  • @HumbrolPaints
    @HumbrolPaints  11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Apply a couple of coats of Humbrol Clear over your entire model, then apply your decals using Humbrol Decalfix. Once dry and settled down you can then spray our Acrylic Matt varnish over your model. We would advise to test this first before applying to your model. Hope this helps.

    If you are in India and Humbrol Liquid Poly is hard to get, then just use a small bottle of Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK). Jewelry and Shoe manufacturers will know where to get this. It is used to dissolve polystyrene parts which all Airfix/Revell/Hasegawa/Tamiya plastic models are made of. Use a tiny brush to apply minimal amounts to the edges to soften them and then assemble.

    If flat brushes are supposed to not leave any brush marks, then why do my Humbrol flat brushes do? (I’m using AG4305) I already applied primer but I still get brush strokes

    Great range of brushes there but the only thing I disliked about the video was the puddle of paint and thinner that was poured directly onto the workdesk. I usually decant some paint and thinners into a brand new and clean foil cake/tart case or an old egg cup as then I can use the workdesk for other tasks. The way the paint is decanted and mixed onto the workdesk in this video doesn't look professional and to be truthful, it encourages sloppiness :(. I am not trolling here but I am just giving you some constructive feedback for future videos. Apart from that, this is a very informative and helpful video.
    Best Regards

      looked to me like it was on a clear sheet on top of the desk. If you look at 0:54, you can see the whole blob of paint move as he slides the sheet slightly

    Will the acrylic primer you used on the model plane work on a toy? I'm trying to paint a old toy that is in need of a paint job. Also is it best to dilute water with the acrylic paint before you start painting with it? And how do you avoid brush marks?

    • @howtocameronsyoungerbrothe5837
      @howtocameronsyoungerbrothe5837 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Kenny Lopes to avoid brush strokes, use water in you paint. You should also do more than one layer if you do.

      just apply the first coat of paint straight from the bottle, it will have brush strokes obviously but it will stick to the plastic and help anchor the subsequent diluted coats

      What you're ment to do is water down the acrylic paint to prevent brush marks and then painting always paint in a fast, repetitive line to prevent paint build up and brush marks
