Hi, What is the best way to paint etch brass with oh so subtle superb detail like eduard ? I have tried cleaning it with cellulose thinners, then painted precision paints black (enamel) onto it, it rubs off dead easy an hour later with a kitchen paper towel. Vinegar is mentioned occasionally in giving it a subtle tooth. 10 mins, 2 hrs and overnight soak times are mentioned...so some experimenting there it seems ! Etch primer ? putting that stuff through an expensive Iwata airbrush is scary, dont fancy that, what will it do to my fine metal nozzle I fear and other parts...and what will it do to my e-brass detail ? Has etch primer a pigment ? Will it clog the detail ?
I aim to airbrush on the paint colour to avoid detail clogging.
What do most scale plastic modellers using eduard and the like do ? There is nothing on the internet I have found after hours of searching on this.
Nothing found in 'groups'.
Even sites like Hyperscale have no tutorials on it.
Unless I have missed it all ?
No instructions in with the ebrass.
