Re: Newbie Paint question, White lines around panel lines.

The paintjob looks stunning all the same.Fantastic gloss and the blue looks very vibrant.I painted mine in the same paint and it looks a lot darker,too dark really,yours looks perfect.I think you could fix the problem you have with the white lines showing quite easily in 2 ways. 1: Use a thinned down black/dark grey paint/ink whatever is your preference and flow it into the panel lines.This will darken the lines,add depth to them and cover up the white,whilst still keeping it looking natural and not overdone. 2: Use some of the bodypaint colour thinned down and flow it carefully into the lines with a very fine pointed brush.If you take your time with it you won't notice it at all and it will cover the white lines.The Tamiya paint dries very smooth.I have used this method many times before and it always has worked for me.
