(yes, we use that word in Sweden)If applied carefully with cotton swabs it's possible to work your way through the paint slowly and with enough precision to avoid unnecessary smearing. It also prevents paint particles and dust that go all over the place. I'm not sure I'll go for the completely shiny or brushed look for the metal parts. If this tun out OK after Iv'e removed all the paint I might actually go for a matte light grey look instead.</blockquote>
