Do you know any tutorial that shows proper 'techniques' when it comes to brush painting so that you don't leave streaks? My only knowledge is to use very little paint and do multiple coats to avoid streaks. I also read somewhere about mixing the paint with something called Future floor polish to help reduce streaks.
Your help is much appreciated!
Also wicked! I'm also in Hamilton! Currently at Mac!

Cool, nice to see another Hamiltonian on the boards.
If you're brush painting basically what others said is right - you don't want the paint too "thick" as it leaves brushstrokes. If it's watery it will kind of self level. Also, resist the urge to touch it up while it's drying - you'll only leave streaks.
Even if you don't have an airbrush, you can get decently smooth finishes with spray paint cans (although this time of year that is tough to do with proper ventilation, etc.).
