>>5771157This is handbrushed. You want to get yourself soft brushes so the brushstrokes don't show up. I'd recommend sable brushes but it might be worth your time going to an art store and having a feel of them first to make sure you get the right thing.
I've not much experience with other paints but i tend to stick with vallejo model color, thinned 1:1.
I'd also gloss coat metallics but it's ultimately down to personal preference I guess.
