I've been using this stuff for a while. I find it works better if you use a 000 brush rather than the applicator that comes in the cap. If you work it right, capillary action with draw the panel line accent colour into recesses and gaps between panels. It's great for popping out fan detail in radiator grilles and accenting car-body air filters. Allow it to dry then clean up with enamel thinner. I found there was a bit of a learning curve, so practise an scrap items. But once you get the hang of it, you'll find all sorts of uses for it. Works better on painted surfaces rather than bare plastic. I suppose if you apply a flat clear coat on bare plastic first the results will be better.
It's like weathering....there is no wrong way to do it.
