Help a newbie - priming

the revell paints? no u didnt screw up, they're perfect for model making, they're the same as humbrol enamels which is what i use for my models. Better than tamiya acrylics IMO. Clean your brushes in white spirit or turpentine substitute. Dont use water- it will make a huge mess!

Thanx!!

Oh and can i use it right the way it is or should i dilute it first?

as the paint is new it should be absolutely fine to brush on straight out of the tin. You can brush it out more than acrylics without it peeling off as it doesnt dry as quickly. Make sure you get some decent brushes- i cant emphasise that point enough!
When your painting, only dip the tip of the brush in the paint, as otherwise you will just flood the area with paint and loose all the detail.
Just give it a go though, you will soon get the hang of it!
