I read some posts here about pre-painting tubes for acrylics. I didn't catch what type of paint to use. So i'll ask the experts, what's the best? What can I use that won't affect the glue joint? Thanks.
I tend to use testors too... But I don't do it often anymore... Now that I can get tubes in white, silver, black ti and brass for many kits, I just pick a different tube..
However, I would stongly suggest that if you do paint, like others have said paint the blank (and MAYBE the tube too)... I find a q-tip works great to pain the hole in the blank.
