yes, with a brush, the second one was done with some white highlight underneath but the paint was too thick to show it on the panelling, it did leave some nice high/lowlights on the metal/black parts however
next time im really going to thin it down but also be a bit more agressive with the highlighting
i also spent time last night with the hobby knife and scraper to clean the final 3 marines mold imperfections up, made a huge difference to them, excited to paint this evening

doing colours over a black base coat will make the coverage feel awful, you'll get used to the first layer looking really splotchy. If you want to pre-shade like a zenithal then look at using contrast/speed paints, they'll mostly cover really well but leave the layer below visible with a tint of the top colour.

I often paint a couple at a time so I don't have to wait for bits to dry.
Are you doing a black base coat then colours on top?
