Interesting that Tamiya comes in spray cans. What sort of hobby shop sells them? R/C car shops?
I have been trying to recall a conversation I had with my LHS guy about spray painting.
I think that the trick is to mask the item being sprayed, then to spray a base coat in the background colour, which will solve the seepage problem by clogging any gaps, and finally spray the coats of paint in the colour required for the masked off area.
When explained like that it seems such a simple solution, but that was the trick as shown on a How to Spray Paint video that he had watched at his club meeting. Goes to show that when you think you know about a subject there are still things that can be learnt.
