Use bottle paint for small parts or for touch up for best results......never large areas !...that's what spray cans or airbrushes are for !

Shake bottle & stir THOROUGHLY with a toothpick before use ...add a little thinner if necessary.

Clean the bottle lip & the cap threads after every use !

Clean your brushes right after every use !

All valid points Patrick... but for years I used bottle paints even to do complete car and plane bodies with a brush!!! Some people still do, my son does... You can get good results...

This was painted with bottle paints and all by hand...

I could never hope for such a good finish! I think it's all in the brush that is used!

Paint's changed since the old days. If I have to area brush I use Model Master acrylic thinned down a bit but not so much as you'd thin it for an airbrush. I lay it on thick. The following was done in one coat with a 1/4" soft sable chisel brush

This is the only paint I've been able to achieve such results with

Mark
