Acrylic is easier to work with for the casual sprayer. you can easily sand back your mistakes i.e. runs to make it all nice again.

I got NAV to be like this by myself (clear coat w/pearl) the colour was painted by a good mate of mine.

Image

all it took was some sand paper some t-cut and a truck load of elbow grease and a bit of time, all by hand i did it, this is because i don't trust myself with one of those buffing machines
