Hand painting props and armor

[vdcdv]

Hey all, Ive made the recent decision to switch from rattle can painting to almost strictly hand painting. Does anyone have any recommendations for any specific paint brands techniques? Thanks in advance.

My suit is pretty much handpainted, I used vallejo acrylics thinned with water on a rough 1:1 ratio. Lately Ive been using angelus acrylic leather paint as Ive found it resists creasing as my suit is foam. Id do the same with 3D prints though more with vallejo. Idk what everyone else does but this is what worked for me

Just one man's view - That seems like a backwards direction.

Usually it goes *FROM* hand/brush *TO* spray can. Then up to the next level of spray through an HVLP system like you do for cars and appliances.

Just curious... There must be a reason to go from spray to brush: What was it?
I get this level out of a can... so... was just wondering.
