Some of the parts are that small that Iโm having to use a magnifying glass to see which way up they go.

I prime with the appropriate primer, then I use humbrol acrylic spray cans for large areas, as it's cheaper than the tamiya spray cans. For smaller areas I use tamiya paint in the air brush.
All paint work gets at least 2 coats of lacquer to finish. It's important to test your paints, as not all makes are compatible. Primer I get from a local shop either plastic primer or etch primer for brass. These are large spray cans for automotive repairs, and work out much cheaper. Hope this helps. ▲

They were tagged in with super glue for testing, then 2 part epoxy to fasten them in securely.if there had been room for wood underneath them, then I would have screwed them down, which is my preferred method.
