Title: Connie Tender Paint Match
Post by: CCSG on May 24, 2014, 03:45:50 AM
I'll be re painting my connie tender with an air brush soon. What are some products that match?

I used Steam Power Black from Polly Scale but I think they are out of business now

Dear Patrick,
I use Krylon Semi-flat Black, apply lettering, and then Dullcote.
Have fun!

Thanks Bach-man,

I looked at Krylon's website and it looks like most of their paints are sold in rattle cans. I'm looking for something I can spray with an air brush.

You might be very surprised as to how nice the Krylon rattle can paint looks I tried it and was surprised to see how much it looks airbrushed.  It took a little practice with a rattle can but no worse than the prictice I needed with my airbrush.

Dear Patrick,
In that case, try Scalecote Loco Black.
Have fun!
