I've finally been able to finally get decent results with rattle cans. A couple of light coats then a final wet coat. I can get a good wet coat without runs by rotating the model at various angles and looking at the reflection. The problem is with overspray/blowback falling on other parts of the model that are already done. The basic problem is that I get a good final coat on the fins, then while laying down the final coat on the body tube a fin will get some of the over-atomize peripheral spray producing a fine texture. I get a good coat on the fin, parts of the body tube get the same effect. Back and forth it goes. Basically I work to minimize this fine texture effect and call it good enough, but I've never been able to eliminate the problem.
The only solution I can think of is to paint the model in sections, but this will leave paint lines. This is ok if the model will have sections of different colors but on models with just a single color I haven't figured it out. A fan with a filter to pull away overspray? Help, please! I'm doing this outside so a controlled environment is limited.
Thanks!
