Zombie thread, but I just repainted some Ciocc panto items.
I let it sit for half an hour or so to thicken in a bit.
It's reasonably easy, the tricky bits are the small edges for numbers/the numbers on stems with height indication.
Another thing to watch is that Humbrol/other paints drip to ensure you lay your panto item FLAT.
A hack solution if you don't have a small brush and white spirit, use a Bic Pen cap end and wrap kitchen towel on it to wipe away excess + use the thread head of an ordinary needle.
Put some paint on the needle head, tick it on a piece of paper to get rid of excess (as this will go over the edge of the shallow panto lines for numbers), paint it in.
If you do go over the lines, use the paper wrapped over end of Bic Pen cap to remove excess. Change paper every time you touch paint, else you end up smearing it all over.
And presto. Once paint is dry you will need white spirit though so ensure you clean up well before it's dry.
