Mitch, that sounds an interesting way to do it.
Yes I am keen to try this. This was a major feature of the original paintwork.
J.D.
Its a trick i learned from Clays repair guides..
I just dip the brush into the thinned paint as i said, and scrape the brush bristles with a paddlepop stick or piece of plastic etc, scraping towards me whilst facing the cab surface with the brush.. if that makes sense, thus creating the small dots of paint. I'll be using this trick on my Quick Draw cab come respray time which will be very soon, weather permitting!!
Make sure you practice the technique onto cardboard first though!!
And yes i give that last piece of advice learned from bitter experience
