Fast Draw
Gottlieb, 1975I am about to airbrush all the colors on my Fast draw because they are very dull and grey.
It will be a major restoration and I would like to know if anyone has done it before and what airbrush paints come as close as possible to the original colors.
I have seen a guy using Americana paints but I would like to hear what others have tried ... maybe Createx .. and what numbers and type.
Most people use Createx Airbrush Colors: http://createxcolors.com/airbrushcolors.html
You will see by the available palette that you must mix your own colours. Watch some YouTube videos to understand how to mix colours.
You can mix http://createxcolors.com/airbrush-colors/reducers-cleaners/4030.html so this paint will air cure and be more durable.
Other paint lines are Createx Wicked / Auto-Air. I am trying http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/en_US/premium-airbrush-color/family/6.
Whatever paint you choose, read the application guides from the manufacturer!
I have read Vids guide infinite times. I have even made notes and a flowchart as to how to proceed . Hopefully I will not make a mess out of it

Thank you for the Links DR_NYBBLE ... will look into them.
I am not sure if I should choose the Opaque , Wicked , Auto-Air etc .
How do you find the Premium series so far ?

Flowchart??? is it generic to any game or just what you plan on doing to yours. If it is generic do you mind posting it?

Ive read it 1 less than infinity and am still making mistakes. Most recently i removed masking by pulling it at a 90 degree angle not 180. This can cause clear to pull off. 
Check out my SBM thread and maybe glean from some of my issues!
