To paint a kit you must have patience. Paint one layer at a time, wait for each layer to dry before applying the next layer.
To paint: you can different kind of brush. Each different size brush is suitable for different surface. With big wall, use can mini paint roller.
To clean brush, you can use:
Paint brush washing bucket: Use when you don’t have a lot of space, suitable for moving
or
Paint brush cleaner: put on table and you can clean brush clearly
Alternatively, you can use a silicon sheet to place the object to be painted. It help keep your hands from getting paint all over them.

Great tips, thank you! Since my partner paints miniatures, I have a paint brush cleaner at home and it works really well. I also have a box with a sponge that stays wet so the paint doesn’t dry out and I can use it multiple times
So great idea. the paint is usually dry out and I can’t use it multiple times. Sometimes, it’s dey put and you must by a new paint
