Jimmy.....if it's thicker than you like.....thin it with Tap Water.....also I use anything from a Foam Brush to the expensive Artists Hair Brushes and Pinstripers Brushes....they all work....it just depends on what you are trying to do

I like to use an acrylic matte base with some powdered prim. style pigments that I got from a mail order native goods company.  (not sure if I can post the name of the company.  If you want I can pm it to you).
