About to spray my tamiya S2000 model and am a first time modeller. I wanted to ask when I am spraying both the primer and the actual spray paint, how far do I hold the can away from the model, and say i am spraying the side of the car; how quickly should I move the spray can across the car. i.e. how many seconds should I spend moving the can from the from one end to the other.

I would appreciate all the help you can provide.
Thanks
Zak
