how many different bottles of paint are required, or is it best to spray it on?

brown, tan, green wood, steal/iron, red, copper, black flesh and the men outfit colors these colors will get u started

The colors are listed in the directions, I feel the brush marks add to the authenticity of to era. 2 bottles of cooper for the hull, looks like 2 bottles of black and deck tan also.

Did mine over a year ago, let me see......used spray copper paint for the haul, bottled paint used white, black, the instructions will tell you other colors you will need. One thing I did on my own, I had a dark wood stain, I used it on the deck. Let it dry and sprayed it with a poly spray to keep it from smearing. I know wood stain is for wood, but it will give it a great look. One thing take your time with the ship, work a few hours at a time. May get frustrated at times, but worth it at the end. Any other questions just ask.

I bought this for my husband, and he used 5 different kinds of paint black, white, brown, red, tan and copper. You have to paint by hand, because the parts are too small to spray. He also says be sure to use enamel model paint, not water based paint.

Actually youd be quite surprised at very few colors id go with primer first then spray with either can or air brush special effects would use a few more colors than revell calls for

Hi I love this kit. You can get many uses from just one bottle. You apply thin coats. I'm on my third mani and still have a lot of polish left to do a couple more. Hope this helps

I'm going by memory, so if someone corrects me they are probably right... the kit came with two small cans of paint, a nice little brush, a mini paint tray. You do not need to put a protective clear top coat over it, or primer. I did golden oak cabinets in my RV white and they needed 3-4 coats and still kind of have a 'shabby chic' look to them. I'm glad it wasn't my house, I will do the rest of the trailer cabinets in a dark colour instead.

I actually don't know yet. We have not finished a bottle. We pump 4 times and that seems to be plenty for each use. No need to over spray.

no, you must spray or use a brush to apply multiple coats. For large projects, sprat it; for small projects a small paint can version works best. P.S. The more layers you put down, the better the performance....time comsumuing, but well worth the time and money!!!!

I usually add about a tablespoon of paint conditioner, and about a tablespoon of water to a half of the sprayer container full of paint and mix well. I can cover a piece with one coat, but I also use chalky finish paint that's thicker than latex.

A small amount shouldn't be a problem, use a spray bottle and one to two mists should be fine

Unfortunately I used them to dye baby things- onsies and bibs. But given what we had left over I would say it would each pack of 3 sprays make 18 shirts... So 9 bottles would in turn make 54 shirts. I am sure there is a plus/minus to it.

I purchased 2 kits and had enough materials to easily do all 3 vehicles; probably could have done a 4th.It has been about 18 months since I did the first, and it still looks great.The final step, the Clear Coat, will harden in the opened bottle over time.I suggest using up the entire kit within 2-4 months.

You can spray paint just about anything. Scuff it up with some sand paper to take off the "gloss" so the paint will adhere.

I tend to agree 1 bottle should do it. It goes further than I would have expected if you apply proper and spread out.

Depends on how big, and how many applications are required to get the result you want. I used one bottle, and did a 10' vee hull twice, once because I allowed the product to dry on the hull, and it left marks. I would get one, and order more if you need to. Prime means you can get it quickly enough.

Like the other 2 replies. A small bottle will be more then enough. You even may have over half of it left depending on the finish you are looking for. I put 4 to 5 coats on a stock and still have over half left. This was on stocks such as Rem 700 etc. Hope this was of help.

The metallics take a bit longer than the flat and gloss finishes in my experience. You can thin it for better results, but using thinner coats of it straight from the bottle may work for you as well, depending on your painting technique (hand painted Vs. airbrush, etc.) Try thinner coats applied to the plastic model and doing multiple coats where applicable, first. If that doesn't/already isn't working, then try thinning it out progressively. You can practice on plastic spoons/knives to get your method down without running any potential risk with your model pieces.

AS the other answerer said - ONLY on the 2 smaller bottles - which are sufficient for smaller detailed work, NOT on the big bottle.

You can have the tint mixed in white. It needs to be done at a auto paint shop that understands how to do it takes a pint for one kit(4 bottles)

One bottle should be enough, however the delivery method posed a problem it at times over dust. you may want to get an old fashioned dust sprayer would be less wasteful.
