Carsten, you are right . The paint is thin enough straight from the can. I just attached a straw to the nozzle and sprayed the paint into a jar and applied it with a brush.

The paint does seem to evaporate alot quicker than potted paints. But it was easy enough to apply.

And just for you Carsten, I have assembled it temporarily just to see what it looks like????

Great work!

Looks good skunky just got the nose to go now. Just be careful when masking everything off before painting the nose as some masking tapes leave a sticky residue behind and let me tell you it can be a nightmare to get off if it ends up on the new paint job ;)

I must say, this is looking quite nice. Great work

Honestly, you don't need masking to do the nose and the ANH nose color is the same as the rest of the gunmetal.

And... for the future... for small, oddly shaped masking jobs - choose masking fluid.

And I see you painted the very tip of the nose, even though I made a big stunt out of how big a dope I was for screwing up the WIP templates in that area!

Well spotted Carsten! Just testing....he he...

I've corrected that now

Well... I think you can honestly change your thread title... you did wonders and you fixed this baby... and YOU did it!

Now I just need to assemble it correctly....

It's looking nice...and an informative thread. I got something myself recently I'll have to finish up at some point...

I'm liking the overall look of the helmet...nice job...
