It happen some days ago when I was searching for a self adhesive film to cover the hull of one model instead of using spray painting. These films are often used to change color of car bodies.
Continuing my search on YouTube I found out two others methods to paint an object :
A) Hydrographic painting
B) Swirling painting
So enthusiastic about that I already drawn a dismountable water basin adapted to a Class M model and simulated a painting for my Class M Chine Hull.
On YouTube the “key words” : Hydrographic painting and Swirling painting
