What are you guys using for paint?

I'd like to jazz up the pictogram safety markings on a receiver.

Any special process notes (how to) you can share would be great

Youtube it.  There are several good videos out there.  I just did mine yesterday.  I used Testor's flat red and white.  Thinned it down with some Testor's thinner and a small brush.  Just make sure it is good and dry before you try to clean the excess off.

Same here. Add a tiny bit of thinner and let it "fill" in the image. Let it dry some and then gently wipe off the excess with a little thinner. Just try not to press your cleaning cloth down into the groves and it will leave your paint down in there. Otherwise you may take some of the paint you want in there off as well.

Go to the hobby shop or auto store get some water base paint like Faskolor or Createx. Use brush or Q-tip to apply let it dry then use Windex yes Windex to clean up excees. if you don't like lt soak it with the windex and tooth brush and start over. You can't hurt anything with Windex!
