I bought and used art paintbrushes for this project that were super fine, almost like one strand was on the brush.The testors paint did not need to be thinned.I did my original tailletters, bought a repop set and then sold the repop set I also polished the letters with my bench grinder buffing wheel combo. You cannot see it in the pic but the chrome really came alive.Used white testors for the letters.They really are white they look cream in the pic to me.Another trick to getting good paint is to use a razor blade or exacto knife blade to slice any overpaint once dried.Don't bother trying to wipe it off or slice the paint off before it dries because the paint is setting up and if you get any bits into it you might as well dig out the paint you just applied and start over.
