Okay, a friend of mine tells me that he "inherited" a bunch of enamel paint from his brother's father-in-law (sounds like a bad mob movie huh?). Being a wargamer and not a modeler, he uses only acrylic, so he wants to give them to me.
Being the cheap bottom feeder I am, I greatfully accept the gift and get them home to find that there are some very cool colors and event though some must be from the 60's or 70's (had 15 cent and 25 cent prices printed on caps), they are in perfect condition (with a bit of stirring).
Anyway, the last time I used enamel was when I was about 12 or so. Now that I use an airbrush and have been using acrylics for many years on my wargaming stuff, I have no idea about what the "gotchas" might be.
I know that the enamels are sometimes less popular because of drying time, but I wonder if applying with an airbrush will help with that?
Any pointers you guys can offer are much appreciated.
Thanks!
