Dennis.  So what did you thin it with and what type of airbrush did you use?

The thinner was just "Sunnyside" thinner I got at a Menards home store.  The airbrush is a Pasche VL set.  Being new to it, I was not sure if I had the right combo of parts set up in it either.  Previously, I had tried to use it to spray some OLD Aerogloss dope on a Brodak F8F Bearcat and it did not work at all.  It gummed up instantly.  In that case I read that certain thinners  worked with Aerogloss and others didn't.  Btw, this was really old real Aerogloss dope from the late 60's/early 70's not the environmentally friendly versions of today.  Either way I had problems there as well. I'll try it again though.  I have a set of 2613 Blue comet cars primed and ready to finish.  I need to do that before it gets cold!  I'm open to any pointers anyone has though, I'm willing to consider or try about anything to improve the outcome. Here ar a couple of pics of the 3171 cars I repainted recently with many coats.
