Moorey:
Did you thin with white spirit, what % do you know.

gtmdriver:
Yes I thinned it with white spirit but I'm not sure what % I used. it's about 10 years ago now.

The paint itself is quite thick with a high solid content so I thinned it a little at a time until it went through the gun correctly.

Leave each coat to dry for a while. It doesn't dry as quickly as cellulose.

Mr_Sheene:
If you have trouble masking off small items you can get 'liquid mask' from art shops and model shops. It's latex and paints on. When it's dry it forms a rubber barrier over the part you're protecting. Model shops also sell 'low-tack' masking tape in various sizes. The mask can be suspect with some acrylic paints and can 'colour' plastics but I doubt that it'll harm an engine. When dry, you simply rub it off with your fingers.
