Painting model trains

Always mix your paints thoroughly using either a spatula for hand mixing or a power mixer. Shaking the can or stirring with an electrical type screwdriver or similar shaped object is useless. When opening a tin of paint always clean the rim as any dust will be sucked into the tin when the lid is opened.If you buy a number of tins of the same color paint mix each one thoroughly then mix them together in a larger container. Finally put them back in their original tins. This will ensure you have an identical shade in each tin. The original tins may have been from different batches.ALWAYS buy sufficient paint for the whole job.
