How many coats??

I was just wondering, when spraying detailed parts such as the engine and suspension how many coats of paint do you put on?

2-3 coats should be enough to make sure everything is covered in paint and is nicely done

One with a paint brush or two with an airbrush... sometimes more than this but only if needed.

Agreed! Remember, with each coat you lose a little detail. :)
