Best bet is to ask the jet guys in the Aircraft Forum, Simon..

But some techniquiches are universal... It depends on what kind of relief-detail you have, and not knowing what an Aries Resin Set contains, I won't attemp an answer that part..

But for general cockpit instrument panel-painting, I first paint the panels flat white, then do over them in Black Sharpie..

Once that's done, I go over it lightly with an alcohol-dampened (not wet) brush, taking just enough of the ink off to let the white show through...

Then I shoot it with Testor's Dullcoat (Sharpie-Ink dries glossy) , and lastly, a drop of Testor's GlossCoat for lenses..

Here's my typical result:

 For breaker and switch-panels, I do it more or less the same way, except for the fact that I use white paint, then flat-black paint rather than ink,  and dry-brush the relief with white..   Be sure that when you dry-brush, the paint doesn't attack the undercoat, turning the whole thing grey.. So, after you shoot the panel black, with enamel, for instance, dry-brush with white acrylic or water-color, or if youpainted it black acrylic, dry-brush with white enamel..

You may have to go back a touch-up a little here & there as well, but I think the results are worth it...

Welcome to the Forums, BTW..
