'Higlighting' advice needed

Recommended Posts

What is the best way to add some color to the tooled areas to highlight them and make them more noticeable.  I know I could potentially paint them but thats going to be a pain to do with the scales area so I'm hoping there are better options.  Thanks for any help!

What I would do is; use a fine nib paint pen to out-line the letters and dragon head - some workers on here use a small bottle of paint with a very fine applicator needle to do the same job.

On the scales I would paint over them all and the surrounding area with a couple of coats of a resist such as 'Pledge' floor polish - which is actually a thin acrylic varnish. When that is dried I'd paint over the scales with my colour and before it had fully dried wipe it off the top areas using a solid block covered in cloth or kitchen roll paper. The block will keep the cloth just wiping the top and not allow the cloth to clean out the groovey bits
