First of all.. how did I NOT know about this site!! what a gold mine!!!
Hi I am new here but not new to airbrushing.. I have worked with a lot of nice high end paints but I need help with bulk cheaper paints.. here is my need:
I am part of a build group for a costume. There are about 25 of us and we will all need our helmets painted for this costume. I am the designated sucker that is in charge of this task.
The helmets are plastic and only for show. I will be roughing them up and applying primer and the basecoat (which is white). From there, the helmets will have a unique design and/or striping added (which will be either brushed on, or airbrushed using a stencil).. I will probably not be doing a clearcoat to keep cost down, unless it looks really rough... not sure here...
So my question is.. what would be the cheapest option for applying primer and the white basecoat to 25 helmets using an Iwata HVLP (or my SATA).
I have sets of wicked paints and House of Kolor etc.. but I do NOT want to use high end paints that come in small amounts for this project.. it would just be wayyyy too expensive.
Thank you in advance for your help
