Hello fellas. At the time I'm gathering information on building and painting techniques for my next build. Today I was checking my painting instruments and realized that an improvement has to be made there. What you are about to read might strike you: I never used primers or thinners, I can't tell the difference between enamels and... other kinds of paints, have two paintbrushes: a big one a and a small one, the paints I use are bought in the art shop two blocks down street and kids at kindergarten might be using the same paints. Never in life have I used oils or ink. As you can see I know nothing and work with low quality materials. tamiya, revell and such paints are very expensive here in argentina if you can find them. thankfully I have a friend who is at the states now and if I buy some stuff he'll bring it over. If you could point out some vital paints that I must have, say those used for metal parts, rust, etc...
Also, could you educate me on the basic use of paints?
I hope I'm not asking too much, I'm eager to learn and improve!
