In my current build I hand painted the interior of my pods with Testors enamel. I did it out of necessity; getting spray in there would have been more trouble than it's worth.
The insides of the tubes are pretty non-critical so I wasn't too careful with it, but the results were good enough that it made me wonder if there weren't more times when it'd be a good idea to pull out the paintbrushes. In many cases, it seems like it would save a lot of masking effort and a lot of wasted spray.
In the same build, I'm now almost certainly going to paint some strips with the brush, but then when I get to things like fins and nose cones I start getting nervous. Is it possible/practical to get really good results hand painting those sorts of things? Has anyone had success?
Although eliminating one or more rattle can steps sounds fantastic, I wouldn't do it at the expense of a good looking paint job. Rattle cans are a pain but I do get good results.
Was hoping folks could share their experiences here.
