With a brush

You can see brush marks here


I've found the first lack of painting on Pman's work

just curious, with what kind of paint -- I'm thinking non-acrylic, enamel perhaps? That must be one WIDE brush.

[Cychalen]

Looks much better than mine.

If I remember correctly, Pman uses enamel paint with interiors because they don't dry as fast as acrylics. That's why you hardly see brush marks on his job. Except this one.

I think that is something that is molded onto the body, I think it is supposed to look like a fabric bend...cuz it def. isn't a p-man mess-up

Me thinks the P-Man should do a "Paintbrush HOW TO" in the near future, or is there already one which I'm missing. IMO Being able to do prope paint-brush-ing would be a big PLUS when detailing the interior...

I'm not sure it would be worth doing a "How to" on brushpainting as there's not much to tell.
I always use enamals
This might help you out.....

Use enamals as they take longer to dry therefore giving you more time to work with the paint.
Heat the bottle of paint in warm water first as this helps thin the paint down and makes it flow better.
If you are doing a fairly large area....put quite abit onto the brush and work quickly before it dries.
Use the correct brush size for the area. If you are doing a large area, use a bigger brush !!
Keep all the brush marks going one way and for the final finish... you should just use the weight of the brush to help smooth out the paint.
Try not to keep going over the same area as it becomes "tacky"..... as you will start to pull the paint off giving a rough finish.
Allow plenty of drying time(4-5 hours at a warm room temp) to put a second coat on if need

Do you brushpaint your whole interior?

Only if i have to.
Most times the interiors are black so i can spray the bulk of it first then add the details like seat colour's later on.

[Snooker]

Thanx. I completely spray my interiors.
