How long are You waiting until You start to streak the paint?

You ask a good question - and it depends on how thinned the paint is. But I've learned over practice to smear it on, then wait about 3 minutes...then work the lines in. Going over it a few times....adding more paint sometimes...keep working it until all appears right. Sometimes a brush mark or smudge will render the whole thing useless. I use old oil paint that has very little "oil" left in it which helps drying time. Plus adding mineral spirits helps get rid of the oil too.
Cheers,
Gary

Thanks everyone for the kind words! Progress has been made on my engine which needed those Aviattic primer cups. I had to make spark plugs from big bolts (shaved off spare AFV model parts) and thin styrene rod. I also decided after painting my intake manifold a beautiful copper colour to wrap insulation around it with Tamiya tape. Most of the period photos showed it. The ignition wires were done with 0.10" lead wire.
Cheers,
Gary

Lot's of engines being built around the forum and each one looking fantastic! Those primer cups really add to an otherwise superb engine.
