Are you using paint, gundam markers, or something else?

Edit: When painting or using a marker, masking tape is your best friend. It gives you clean edges. If you do get paint/marker run off, quickly use a slightly moist paper towel to clean it off. A little bit of nail polish remover will also help to take it off.

When doing real fine lines, run your marker/paintbrush over it and then wipe with the wet towel. It should leave you with just the highlighted lines and no run over.

The paint work looks a little bit rough IMO.

Are you thinning your paints?

Also, have you read any painting tips? I recommend this tutorial:

Painting Tutorial

It's the same one I read when I started customizing.

I have not, I was doing this with all paint pens, most of these are WIP still, i need to touch up almost all of them. Ill keep the masking tape thing in mind.

I highly suggest you invest in a paint brush and some good quality paint then.

I do have testors and some good brushes but I figured these would be better and faster.

I am absolutely loving that MMPR Red and Samurai Red.
