Two recent tips that have really worked for me
1) Using Rustoleum "American Accents" textured paint to create Anti- Skid coating for modern vehicles- worked like a dream.Just used it on my Chally 2. In Canada it's called just called Rustoleum "Textured" and it comes from Canadian Tire, I'm not sure about else where, thanks Gino aka Heavy Arty
2) Simple Green to clean your airbrush - put some in the colour cup and leit go into the airbrush, and let sit, spray and you'll be suprised as to how much junk comes out and it leaves a pine fresh smell...much nicer than Laquer thinner. I'm sorry I don't remember who had that tip but a it's good one.
Thanks to all
