Finished up the roundel for my Bavaria's hood last night. Took a look this morning and it looks kinda fake like a model paint job or like paint on some sort of ceramic piece. (guess it would since it was model paint that I used) Doesn't feel like it will wear real well on the car and probably will get mucked up...

brush marks whether you use a fine brush per Esty's suggestion, or drip it on with a toothpick as I do.
Actually that model paint is pretty durable. It's lasted on my car for about five years and doesn't take long to either touch up or completely re-do.
cheers

Did not get any brush marks because I did not use a brush, but rather a toothpick. But I may not have thinned the paint enough. If it gets mucked up I will redo. Thanks Mike.

give the blue two coats for it to cover properly. But it'll look nice and smooth...and will last longer than the factory paint too.
