Scutum Painting Tips

[Matt Lukes]

Another tip is to keep the paint thinned slightly. About the consistancy of thin cream.

Normally a good tip, yes- it's definitely what you want for painting thin lines freehand- but it's not good for painting with any kind of edge, whether it be tape, stencil or straightedge for the exact reason it's good for freehand work: because thin paint flows. You actually want the paint thick here. Don't apply it thickly of course, but you want it to flow as little as possible once it's applied. :wink:

Glad to hear you're pleased with how it's progressing Kyle- I hope we get to see pictures once you're done
