All:

Could anyone recommend a tutorial for sponge painting of models using acrylic paints -- NOT for weathering and depicting chipped paints, but for wide area coverage?

I saw this tutorial in Japanese on YouTube, and it shows a very nice technique for achieving a very nice finish using a sponge to apply acrylic paints using a dabbing technique:

Most of the video is self explanatory, but I would like to know if she used a retardant to slow the drying of the paint, and how she dealt with the small paint bubbles visible in the finish toward the end of the video--wonder if she used very fine micro mesh and then a coat of flat finish? If anyone speaks Japanese, I would be much obliged for a brief summary of the technique used.

Thanks!
