It depends. for large areas, skip the brush and airbrush it. For medium through detailing, use smaller craft brushes. How many layers of basecoats do you normally apply and does it completely remove any signs of brushstrokes? You should apply 2-3 basecoats. Brushstrokes are a matter or how you paint, so just don't smack it down on the plastic.
How should I practice my painting as I don't want to ruin my toys(they're pretty pricey over here). Have any toys are objects you don't need or want? Use those.
Lastly how much roughly would it cost to get all the necessary equipment(and what are the necessary equipment)?
Can't help you there unless I know what country you're in.
Thank you for any input in advance.

I am planning my first repaint, will start simple with a movie bumblebee. Paint wise i should be okay, so no questions on that. What i would like to know though is where to get those transformers symbols (decals) that i see on some of the repainted/kitbashed models.
I have used search, but that gave no results.
Thanks
Peter
