I normally just lightly key it when i clean it.

I tend to work at 30-40psi, I just adjust the airflow on my brush.
I find the Createx paints work pretty well from the bottle. I thin them down a tiny bit when painting big areas, normally just a drip of water.

Always lay down a fin mist first, then set it with an air dryer. Once you have 2 or 3 mist coats down, you can go heavier with it. Paint sticks to paint well.

Same for shading, don't try to get the final colour in one pass. It may take 4-5 coats just the same as block colours.

And keep setting the colours with a hairdryer/heat gun

Thats about all i do!
