Info needed: correct colours for WWII Aust vehicles

[Tony Wheeler]

Thanks again Tony, sounds like acrylic may have some advantages for an amateur like me. I like the idea of using less flattener too, it strikes me as something to be minimized if possible.

Like you I'll be spraying everything outdoors. That's what I've always done in the past - usually out of necessity for want of a shed! However on the few occasions when I have sprayed panels indoors I've found they tend to attract MORE dust and insects, not less! Plus of course the fumes build up as you mention. As far as I can make out it's preferable in every way to spraypaint outdoors - unless you're running a business of course, in which case you can't always afford to wait for suitable weather!
