The elbows will always be tricky but the less paint you use the less there is to rub. Mainly take your time and do some thin layers, so thinning paint is key. Dont try to do it all in 5 minutes ya know. Im not the best paonter out there but have some experience. And thats what it is all about, learning as we work. Avoid enamels and you should be good.
