Paint questions

[visible33]

I use Humbrol paints in my airbrush ( paint jar is 14 ml ) and now I have question : How many jars I have to buy when I want paint 1/24 car body ? And how many coat you usually paint on car ?

[mod]

2 jars i put 4-5 coats 1-2 clear

Ok thanks
But when I put too much paint in my airbrush, is it ok when it stay there when one coat is dry ?

( Hope you understand question )

[mod]

yes just not for too long

Ok, I think about 3-4 hours, is it good for paint ?

Noooo nooo noo. Pour the extra paint into a clean jar. Clean your airbrush thoroughly and then put on the next layer. If you are just doing coats every couple minutes then its alright. If its more than 5-10 I'd take it out and clean it thoroughly.

i was just wondering because i knew you only had to wait a couple minutes for another coat so i was really shocked

Minutes between coats, hours between layers.
