I've finished most of the paint job by carefully using a clipboard to make edges and I'm planning on using a black decal sheet for the black borders, but ill still have a problem with the water.

I also just found out that the foam I have is safe to use aerosol can paint, so I'm a little frustrated right now because I thought I had to buy an airbrush ....

Thanks, any help will do.
