Painting the Samovar

I had to paint this two colors, after using white primer.  I used Scotch Blue Tape.  High quality, good stuff.
After the white primer I painted the silver color.
The masking tape worked perfectly.
The I had to use this Extreme Lacquer to paint the rest of the model.
Rust-Oleum is a great product.
Here is an unpainted next to a partial painted version.
The brass one is painted except for the touch up.
It turned out pretty well I think.

  1. To prevent the paint from 'creeping' under the masking tape when using pray cans, I usually 'seal'' the joint between the model and masking tape with matt varnish.

  2. Excellent idea. I will have to try that. Thanks for the tip.
