Yea Ive painted a few cars, boats, jet skis, cranes, everything really. There is PPG down the street and I use ppg and omni. Ive used napa paints and they are ok but everything Ive painted with that I have sold. So Im not sure of that paint long term.

Will be my first custom airbrush design with clear over it. Ive been using Wicked colors and createx. Ive also used some really cheap paint to get used to mixing colors and to waste on goofy projects like I have posted. But I was planning on using Auto-air for anything I plan to clear over.


If I screw up I can paint it back to stock haha I hope

Brings back memories. I haven't used my airbrush since I quite racing remote control cars. Seemed like I was painting different bodies at least once a month.
