Another solution- coat it with thin metal foil, like bare metal foil. This will isolate all holes.

Good idea!

Take care with the foiling method, though. Sometimes the small pinholes are still just as visible. I have done this and had the foil actually bubble up later because air trapped in the holes expanded when warmed.

Perheaps simplest method will be to fill the little holes with oil paint...

Anyway, little progress...

Thank you!

Progress, but with some troubles...
First I have masked some panels that will be painted in another color than yellow, to give some variety.
For yellow I used first Vallejo yellow, but that paint caused problems with my new paintbrush, obstructing it... So, after having cleaned it, I've used Gunze H4 that is slightly glossy... Hope that will not be the cause of some problems with oil paint, later...

The panels are all painted. The masked ones were painted with Vallejo "Wood"

Thanks!!!

The yellow is not a matt one, and for the application of oil paint it's better to work on a matt paint. So, I've airbrushed Pébéo matt varnish

...And here is coming oil time...

First, with a piece of sponge, I've applied GENEROUSLY oil paint Burnt Umber from Winsor & Newton (see first photo)

Than, with other pieces of sponges, I've gently and longly removed the excess of oil paint...

I like the result  :-love
