how did you do the bolts did they just show or did you have to edit them in

how did you do the bolts did they just show or did you have to edit them in

I select an area I want colored, usually with a multi-point line (curve) then fill the area. This leaves the rivets there.

Them paint the areas that were left behind.

For making bolts and rivets showing in a paint ,use a layered texturefile.

When you have a white plane just showing rivets and lines, open that file in a program like Photoshop (pay) or Gimp(free)

Go to the checkbox "layers" and add a layer.

Paint on this layer the colors you want.

NOW all rivets and lines are invisible BUT if you go to the "layer-properties" and set this layer in the "multiply" mode all rivets and lines will show up again , but now in the color of your choice.

This is the way it has to be done.

There are more "layer-properties" than multiply alone with all sorts of effects , just take multiply for a start.

Working the way you did , produces shabby white rivets on a blue painted fuselage , while a blue fuselage simply has blue rivets.

Search for some tutorials on the internet about "painting with layers" there are dozens of them.

This may be the most beautiful repaint I've ever seen
