Brush strokes are still pretty heavy, I couldn't find those post about brush painting. What I remember was it pretty much have to be as thin as it would be for airbrushing.

What you want to do and is use a retarder so that you have time to brush the brush marks out of the paint before it sets......you don't want the paint to run off on the floor that you wanted to level itself before it dries that way the brush marks should level out before it dries ....... I sent you some acrylic ..... So you could see the difference from enamel ....... Acrylic much easier to work with ....... :eek:ldguy

Yeah, I'm waitin' on some stuff right now that'll work with the acrylics which should help with that problem. One thing with them is, they have a hard time sticking to the plastic... sometimes even when I primer it :frantic
