	First off, thanks for the suggestions about removing the paint.
	I picked up some dot 3 brake fluid, gave it a soak, and now
	it's a clean as a cruise ship. So now to new questions:

	1) Will the texture of the paint on the body be better
	if I pick up an air brush system? Can I use the air brush
	to paint the indented panels on the side of the vette?


	2) Has anyone used the buffing/polishing kits that I read about
	in last months "Scale Auto" Magazine? The results looked
	great, but it seemed like quite a bit of work.

	3) Do you guys do more than one model in parallel? ie/ while
	paint is drying on one, paint another part of a second (or third)
	model? I have a few I'd like to finish, but it takes so long
	when I have to wait overnight after painting a small part...
