Hello all,

Have any of you had any experience using these on raised panel lines ? I have an SR-71 and F-117 on the work bench and as you know these are both flat black aircraft and I would like to give these some definition by a subtle highlight on the panel lines with chalks or pastels but I would really value a second opinion.

if you want to give them a little pop, spray them NATO gray from Tamiya, you can lighten it up a bit with white if you have too, or since a SR71 is so black it's almost grey, you can shoot the panel lines a Tamiya flat black, then shoot the plane NATO black, the NATO black is a grey black that looks great, I use it on airplane tires all the time, since pure flat black looks too dark.
