i taught myself a little tip today with regards to touching up the spray painted areas, as the attempt to touch up from the pots seamed well - naff, i have been spraying a 1 second burst into a little pot, - and providing you use it with 10 - 20 seconds- whilst still in liquid form, and a decent brush with some thinners hanging around, i have managed to cover up a load of stratches, knocks etc, and cut ends of the etched parts
