I'm trying something on this one, I want red crosses but I also want shading on them I masked off and blasted the crosses then airbrushed on a red enamel, I usually get very high adhesion on freshly blasted surfaces so I should be able to cut through the enamel for shading with a sharp chisel without flaking at the edge of the cut
