As I have posted frequently, my Father-in-Law gives me bunches of models... Now comes the trade off...
He has no interest in building a layout, but he loves building wood craftsmen kits. His current obsession is HOn3 D&RGW. He doesn't have an airbrush, and I have 3. He wants me to paint his parts, which I am happy to do. Here is the rub... I can paint plastic and metal ok, but I have never painted wood. If I mess them up, I am sure he would be forgiving, but I would beat myself up over it for a while.
Any useful hints, tips, how to's would be very much appreciated.
My primary concerns are warping/distorting the wood, losing the wood grain in the finished product, and painting an area that should not be painted due to adhesive issues.

Don't follow me, I'm lost too.
