Three-quarters of a good paint job is preparation. Sand thoroughly, wipe down with a cloth dampened with holy water, fill any voids with consecrated putty and use a quality undercoat. Don’t waste your money on unicorn hair brushes, centaur is fine. But trust me on the preparation, if you get ectoplasm bubbles under the top coat the only solution is to exorcise the whole job and start over.
