Need advice on painting porthole frames. I have a 1/400 scale Titanic and want to paint all of the porthole frames in brass. All of the port holes have been drilled out and will be back lit when finishedE93CA029-6D35-463D-BCF3-EFBB32E3F157.jpeg. I have already painted the hull’s exterior and I’m looking for ideas on how to get the paint into the porthole frames without marring the finish.
