    Hi all,

    seeing as i had nothing to do and the wife had gone out shopping i decided to have a try at one of Rob’s Demo’s

    https://www.uksignboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=5117

    Found it pretty straightforward, only problem is the drying time between applications.

    The spray i used is commonly available and was only £3 a tin. There was no problem rubbing a finger over the paint once dry, however touching it with anything sharp i.e. finger nail and it scratched straight through.

    Cheers
    Iain

    Hi Iain

    It’s great fun playing around with paints and stuff

    We did our own car after reading Robs demo https://www.uksignboards.com/viewtopic.p … mble#64882

    and messed about with some different effects

    I would like to get an air brush for doing more detailed effects

    Here’s one I prepared earlier

    Been doing this for a few years now and never had any problems with it lifting, sure livens up crappy ol vinyl. Heres one I did about 18 months ago. I notice you have used Plasti cote, not very good, I use Humbrol enamel and dont have any problems with adhesion. Others use screen inks through an air brush but i find the rattle cans convenient.
