Just paint a generous amount in the panel line, then wipe over with a tissue, cotton bud or whatever is handy. The paint will remain in the engraved detail and be removed from the surface.

As the paint is water based, if you screw up it is easy to remove and try again. And unlike markers you can mix whatever colour you like, i.e. a light grey line where full black might appear too stark.

I think as a general rule it is best to keep it subtle.

P.S. Hello everybody this is my first post on this forum - hope it goes to plan

Welcome.

Is the paint thick? because with it being water based, couldn't you just thin it down a bit?
