Mirror gloss black achieved!
Finally got all the stars aligned to continue on this...a clean airbrush, some new paint and new thinner, and all the family birthday parties and field trips out of the way. Had a free day, so it was time to get everything based up on the Eldar Crimson Hunter.
Not much has really changed, other than I got a good smooth coat on the vehicle. After the original coat and the eventual sanding to even the orange peel out, I mixed up some enamel paint (Humbrol this time) 1:1 with some dedicated enamel thinner and sprayed at just below 20 psi. Got a nice smooth coat this time. As enamel paints have a longer than normal dry time, I didn't want any lint, dust, or kids' sneeze to get on the base coat, so I placed it in an upside-down plastic container, where it will stay for a few days while it dries and gases out.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by!
