i recently bought some polly-s paints to paint my latest project 
(a ju-88-g, in quarter scale) and i'm curious to hear how most people
spray it.  i'm going to follow the recommended paint/thinner ratio (3/2),
but i've heard horror stories about fingerprints, paint lifting . . .
it seems that polly-s has a lot of colors that are difficult to get.

any advice?  this is my first foray away from testors model master (enamel).

(btw, i use a paasche h-1 single action airbrush)
