4whelr Posted June 19, 2013 Share #1 Posted June 19, 2013 What is the best way to prevent the paint from "bleeding" when painting the edges of the planking black?

Jim Lad Posted June 19, 2013 Share #2 Posted June 19, 2013 Try using an archive quality marker pen instead of paint. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ Posted June 19, 2013 Share #3 Posted June 19, 2013 I use a number 2 pencil rubbed along the edge of the plank at smaller scales to indicate caullking. I have never had any smearing or any problem doing that. It looks good at 1/48 scale and smaller.
