Alright, finally bite the bullet and did the nose paint on the ASW15.. And I have to say, I am proud of my work!
That is maybe the first time I manage to paint something without making a mess! I am useless with paint, but, if you have the right tools, everything goes together like a dream!
First thing first, the masking tape!! I used plastic model masking tape. It is not paper, but a sort of vinyl with very sharp edges. It is flexible too, so the curves are relatively easy to do.
I used the 9mm one, but I am going to stock that tape!!
Then, the paint... And I could not find better than the Lidl Acrylic spray paint. That thing cover everything really well, dries quick and it's durable! Oh, and dirt cheap for a result that ended better that with paint that cost 10 times that! (believe me, I tried!!)
So, here you go, my experience with paint, and after all these years, very very happy with the results, and for once, can't wait to do more painting!
On the photos, the edges are dead sharp, what you see is the light reflecting on it.
