Hello Lewis, it was good to meet you at Perth and I'm glad to see that you didn't waste any time in getting started.


Your start looks good I'm guessing that you are using acrylic paint I always find them a bit more difficult to use than oils but if it's your preference stick with it.


I'm in Aberdeen if you need to contact me I'm on Aberdeen 790680. I can help with you buying other flats or any other queries.


Regards

Hi folks,


Thank you all for the responses.


Firstly, could someone tell me the best place to buy new flats?


Secondly, are there any videos of people painting flats? I’m enjoying the one video on YouTube I can find of it. (Maybe I’m looking for the wrong keywords)


Thank you.


Lewis.

Outstanding paintwork, really!
