QUOTE (pedromorgan @ 8 Jun 2007, 14:18) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Part of the learning curve has been to realise that a really good paint finish costs money. I use a brand new sterile pipette and little plastic pot evry time. so even painting the ends costs at least 40p. but when you end up with a coach that is worth well over £100 then its worth it. the biggest problem i have had is getting the contamination away from the paint. especially as i am basically living in a large bedsit in london, dust is a real problem.
Having the right tools for the right job is wonderfull. but unfortunatly it aint cheap! the airbrush and compressor and hose adds up to about £200. then you have the cost of good paint at a fiver a colour.......
But as i said, the results really are worth it.

Superb work Peter - you have far more patience & skill than I'll ever have. I would like to see some examples of your work in the flesh. We may just make it to Chatham this weekend (working late Sat night !) on the Sunday. I'll send yo a PM with my mobile no .
