"Make sure you really wipe off the excess on this step and then begin to very softly brush back and forth over the raised spots in a tick tock motion slowly going to different angles. Check out http://www.imperialshipyards.com/ it's an AWESOME source for customizing and how to's. Good luck!"

"Next, go in with what we call a dry brush. Get some dark color on your brush (black for example). then wipe off onto a paper towel the excess. Then lightly brush over the raised and flat parts to create build up. If you think its going on too much, you can wipe away with a paper towel. The final step is to do a dry brush with an accent color like chrome or white."

"You want to get a milk like look and feel. Next, get a fairly wide brush and begin applying it to an area. It should flow into the grooves and details. Let it set for about 2 minutes. Then take a waded up paper towel and rub along the raised and flat spots."

"Next, depending on the type of plastic you can go with a MATTE spray clear coat (spray can) or move directly on to the wash. I prefer to do the clear coat as it gives a much better base for the paint to adhere. After letting that dry for 24 hours you'll want to do a wash. Mix some black or very dark grey acrylic paint with water, then add a few drops of kitchen soap (this helps to prevent water adhesion."

"Hi Brian! Sorry, it's taken so long to get back to you. I've been working on a Gunship repaint. Anyways.. This is a multi-step process. You have to first, wash the item as best you can. There is a mold release agent on most plastics that will not allow paint to stick well. Hot soapy water works best. If there are electronics, then you can use a rag, but plain parts can be dunked and scrubbed."
