    Hi mate
    Agree ref spraying Vallejo (or any water based acrylic). Simply awful for me. I tried several times and gave it up as a bad job and went back to Tamiya.
    My regime these days is lacquer primer, Tamiya or Mr Color spray coats, and Vallejo brush paint. Flow improver is really a brush painting tool that can be used for making washes and glazes.
    The confidence issue is a problem. The only way to deal with it is put the issue in perspective. It’s only plastic and paint. Nobody dies and nobody else is affected. If something bad happens, take a deep breath, swear a bit, then try something else. If that doesn't work either, swear again and try a third option. If all fails, throw it in the bin and open another box. In the long term you will grow as a modeller because failure and success, through experimentation, are really the only way you learn.

      Thanks all for the input. Thankfully nothing ruined, the area will be out of sight, and I can go back to my trusted MRP and Mr Leveling Thinner for the rest of the build, but notes taken for the next time the MIG comes out.
