If you airbrush I have had good results with Vallejo model air. I use gray surface primer first. I have not tried brushing metal. Your wagon looks fantastic.

Thanks. Sounds like a good plan. Also thanks for the feedback.If you airbrush I have had good results with Vallejo model air. I use gray surface primer first. I have not tried brushing metal. Your wagon looks fantastic.
Thanks Jim. I think you might be being too hard on yourself. I find painting to be relaxing and yes I seem to get as much paint on myself as on my model. Makes cleanup lots of fun. It takes me back to my younger days when I painted outside in my yard and no one cared how much of a mess I made on my model cars. I find smaller brushes make less of a mess but take a bit longer.Most-likely my advice will not be count... everyone (I believe everyone) on SOS knows that Jim and paint - don't go alone. However, I think you can try the canned (aerosol) paint sold in Auto shops. They have many different colors to choose from, including primer.
I have tried multiple times... I use to assemble plastic model ships, and one of the reasons I have stopped - is painting (the second - 1/350 scale). I don't have enough patience until it is completely dry. Paint not even on the surface strikes from the brush...you name it.I think you might be being too hard on yourself.
Thanks GrahamLooks great. You should be OK using a modelling enamel paint on metal.
