Paint spree
#6

Then I have good news Kevan. I have no patience either. A 1/32 car can be painted in exactly 4-minutes. An egg-timer is set at 1-minute intervals. 3-tack coats and 1-wet coat is applied. It takes about 5 to 10-minutes to prep a body. I don't use primer on plastic cars. It may take an extra minute to paint a 1/25 scale body. Tamiya spray cans work great.

I can get away with painting 3-HO cars the same colour from the same can in under 5-minutes. I found a groove that works.

I still use a primer on soft resin bodies to seal them prior to painting. That's about the only time. Very rarely build resin cars these days.

Cheers,
Ken
