How are you all painting the gaps for the doors, fuel door etc.?

I always have such a hard time getting them perfect.

i usually use a scribe and go through all the lines and make them deeper

Does anyone have a link to a thread on the water wash or any other methods? I was using acrylic with a fine brush and then wiping the excess away with a damp towel. But it still never comes out how I want it.
