Nick:
Would that I had read the following tips before attempting to fill some of the holidays on my rather tatty Bates BAR's boxlining. Although Testors enamel suits many touch up purposes, I'll blame the paint (and my inexpertise) because I tried a handful of brushes with uniformly poor success. While it looks as though I dipped my finger into some cream cheese and went at it, you don't much notice it on dark, cloudy nights.

It is no wonder that pinstripers and boxliners were inclined to drink a bit. Toward the end of my efforts, I found that a tumberful of malt whiskey worked a treat by both steadying my hand and lowering my standards.
