Help with Edward

There are lots of us here that could offer you help. What did you mean by screwed up?

For Toby, I just messed up the paint. I've still been working on him and Henrietta, but can't get the top details right, ESPECIALLY the funnel... I've been trying to paint his funnel black for at least a month now, but to no avail. It keeps seeping through the tiny exposed edges inbetween the plastic and masking tape, or getting smudged all over the place if I move my finger too close to scrape off excess. When I thought I had finally gotten it right, I tried masking from spots on his roof that wouldn't come off with a new coat of paint. I thought I gotten the right color mixture, but when it dried, it became a darker shade, and more Trackmaster Spencer-looking than light grey.. Now I can't get it off, and I'm waiting for my parents to find time to go out and get a small bottle of turpentine.
