A couple weeks ago I decided to finally add the runway lines to the 25R section I've been working on. I started with the center lines because that would give me a better visual on the center of the runway for measuring off the aiming point bars. I used white acrylic paints for all the lines. Several passes with the brush to get that perfect solid white were needed. Next up for this section will be taxi stripes, hold short lines, cutting the concrete into sections, and then weathering.

Painting stripes
I use Testors enamel paint for doing all the yellow taxiway striping on my airport. Its a lot thicker and provides a better solid yellow than anything I've found so far. I use acrylic paints for all the rest of the areas. Everything is painted by hand, but heavily masked off. Definitely be careful which tape you use for masking, as I have had some pull the paint off from underneath the area being masked.
