Hi Peter: Nice work as always.
A trick you might want to try the next time you're painting road stripes by hands is to use the dry brush technique. Using a stiff paint brush, simply unload most of the paint in the brush onto the side of a roll of paper towels and then dab what's left onto the road surface until you get the intensity of white that you want. No paint creep that way.

I had used the airbrush approach on the road I made for the Houston S Gaugers club modules (see http://www.houstonsgaugers.org/, click on Articles, and click on "The Wye Modules", see the last two photos). I didn't use it for this one, because I don't feel comfortable airbrushing in the house (yet), and there was only a short section to do (this is about 18 inches). I discovered the bleed-through as soon as I did the first "stripe", so I stopped right away.
