Hi Boyz !  Go to your local craft store, and buy some floral spray paint. It's primarily used for flowers.  But it sprays flat, comes in all colors and in big cans and is cheap !   It's great for base coating . And it does not "bunch up" if spraying too heavy to get all the "nooks and crannies" !  Too much hobby spray paint like Testors, Model Masters, etc. runs and bunches up ... and are expensive.  These floral paints come in what I call Tactical Colors as well as Circus colors ... Check'm out ! :D

Hmmm... why exactly are they spraying paint on flowers?

How's the "thickness" of the paint once it's dried?  I've been a big fan of Armoury (Grey) Primer; it's relatively cheap, lasts a long time, and gives a nice, thin, solid coat.

That said, I will be looking into this "floral spray" for scenery projects!

I guess, they spray the tops of the flower to get the correct color ?!  The Thickness dried, is fine, it does not cover up detail ...

Does it melt styrofoam?  I've been looking for a better way to quickly paint large terrain pieces.

Oh well.  I have plenty of other things I could use it on though!

Thanks for the heads-up, L4. I like using spray paint when I can to save time.
