Default Re: Painting Accent Stripes

Not all were striped with a brush. A few branches did use the wheel striping tools. This allowed for a bit more paint to be laid down in the process. Striping brushes only hold so much paint before they have to be reloaded and the paint has a bit more reducer to get it to flow correctly. Straight enamel is forgiving since it is slow to dry so it gives time for proper reloading of the brush. This reduces the film build a little bit.

If you polish your paint too much it can literally take the stripe right off.
