I got all my paint in the mail so I was browsing the internet just to double check what areas of the turnouts needed to be covered while the paint is sprayed on and I found a video of someone using Woodland Scenics paint pens to paint their track then eventually found a handful of how-to's and demonstrations of using paint pens. I already had a few Floquil paint pens so I gave it a try before getting the airbrush out. It's time consuming but I think it comes out much neater then spraying paint and you don't have to worry about over spray and fumes. I was able to work on manageable sections of track at a time and whatever paint got on top of the rail I was able to easily wipe away with a Q-tip without the paint drying up and using paint thinners, exacto knife, etc. Here's a few pictures comparing the non-painted rail to the painted.
