Denny, I have been brush painting all my trucks as well. I use Pollyscale water based paints and a good art store quality brush. My favorites have been Winsor-Newton or Langnickel. My wife says a new

I paint all of my trucks- by hand with solvent paints, and have been doing so for at least three decades. I perform no special preparations (blasting or etching), but I do thoroughly clean the trucks
