Agreed. The old painter's advice applies - brush it on, brush it in and brush it out.

And for a cleaner edge, make your stencil from correct stencil paper and use some stencil adhesive to help it stay flat. Both available at places like Michaels...

Would white diffs (for diff lights) be painted in a similar manner?

Rather amazingly the diff was white on the Morris Tilly, and I'm planning to recreate this feature.

I didn't know they had skate-boarding mice in HM Forces, as i'm not sure who else would see it
