The bits I have removed I used the air brush to put a primer on with and it seems to be ok. Up to now anyways. But I might have not put enough primer on to begin with. I dont know to be honest, I have had that many ideas and have been proved wrong I am not sure about it

I did rough the surface up to start with to give the paint something to key onto, but as I said I dont think I cleaned it properly.

p.s
Just to ask a question about air brushes. In the literature with mine they say to mix the paint 50-50 with white spirit and the paint? I assume the white spirit is to act as the solvent, but what does everyone else use ?
