I'm repainting a Diamond Jack cab and didn't want to go with Krylon webbing. I had no luck with flinging paint with wire brushes and acrylics, lacquers or enamels. A guy on a gun forum uses the following method on synthetic stocks. Anyway, it works great and can be adjusted infinitely to get whatever style of webbing you need. The ingredients are modelers glue, enamel paint, and paint thinner. In a small jar I mixed 25% flat black enamel paint with 75% glue and added about a half teaspoon of thinner and mixed well. I experimented spraying a bit and added a bit more thinner and got the thin webbing I was after. On one side of the cab I pulled the airbrush needle back (which you do to remove a clog) just to see what it would do and the webbing came up thicker as can be seen in the pic. It still looks fine and most of it will be covered by the subsequent graphics. I'm very happy with the results and it's very easy to do. Mixing and practicing took all of 10 minutes and I was good to go. Also, the small jar of paint in the pic is 1/2 oz and that equivalent of mix will easily do an entire cab and then some. The pics are of the materials used, both sides of the cab, and the piece of drywall I practiced on.
