Question to the Kitbashers: Spray or brush?

... oh and my other tip... listen to Gamblor... 'cause his custom Meister may well be the finest paintwork I've ever seen.

As a tip, acrylic brush on paints will work perfectly over the top of sprayed enamel paints, but not the other way around.

Good point, don't use the hotter solvents on top of each other.
Lacquers>Enamels>Acrylics
ie, acrylics are fine over both enamels and lacquers. Don't apply lacquer paints (spray cans) over other types of paint

Thanks but don't look too close, I already have some flaws in some places
I'll bring it to a meet when it's done so you can judge better (sometime in 2012 )

Spray cans for large areas, paint brushes for finishing and detailing. You get a superior flat finish on the large areas with the spray can as long as you know how to use it. Nothing worse than gluggy dribbles everwhere, practice on something flat first to get used of the spray can if you haven't used one before.

+1 although i want try airbrushing everything very soon requires to some practice. the best piece of advice i can give anyone is PATIENCE!! and if you wanna get rid of those gluggy dribbles put the can in how water works every time

I think 95% of the time i've gone with paintbrush.

I know when I first mentioned it years ago people were suprised because their reason for not doing it was not having steady hands and not getting a nice smooth finish, but i've never seemed to have had that problem.

It may be slower, it may be more time consuming, but eh, it's what I do.
