painting very small area's

Good day

You can dry brush aswel like i did this instrament panal

I shoot panels in flat white, then "paint" them black with a Sharpie.  A few swipes with a super-fine sanding film and the the black comes right off, revealing the white underneath...

With brushes, I stay away from the "Hyper-Zero" ones and just spend the money on a REALLY good "0"... The tip is what you pay for, so don't scrimp on them, and take care of them.  The "OOOOOOOO" brushes hold so little paint that they're almost worthless to me..

For very small items, I just use a very small brush, but a very good very small brush. Over the years I have tried many different kinds (including a so called 20/0) and the one I have picked is a Kolinsky Sable 000. They are expensive litle devils, but they really do work better than any other brush I've used. The ones I have are made by Winsor and Newton and they are available at art supply stores. They keep a sharp point, spring back really well and hold lots of paint.

I do not prime small parts either, but I suggest you do clean them with alcohol or some such substance to make sure they are perfectly clean just before painting. One more thing - on occasion to make a really tiny dot, I use the tip of a round toothpick.
