painted my front wings

Just painted my front wings.... couldn't do the rest its too hot, almost drying off as soon as you put the paint on, had no idea it was that faded, I think its looks a heck of a lot better now, nice and fresh

Sorry if you like them,

Enamel from Paddocks, I know what you mean about the plate, but this is real thick, not for show, I can stand on it and use it to put things on, its about 1/4 inch thick, so if its useful I dont mind

Well at least there not just for looks,

Prob same paint I use then if its from Paddocks...did you thin it if so what did you use,

I remember the first time I used it...very hot day...like you dried to fast.

Enamel paint from Paddocks, a good brush, clean the car, wipe down the part your going to paint,(just before painting) sand down lightly, just to get a key, then do not overload the brush, you apply a very little and spread it, a very thin coat, work it in with even brush strokes, you will almost see no push marks on it as you do it, use the tip of the brush almost, if you screw up, dont go back over it, wait for it to dry, then do that bit again, and kinda feather it in so you wont see it

I didn't thin it... just spread it out
