Ok, you peaked my interest. How, can you supply the script? I'm
desperate. Smudging is kinda bad, because it removes the highlights,
if your lucky enough to get any. 
I did some more experiments today, and with the tube, there is no
variations, no change in width/stroke, it stays the same thru the
whole stroke, but if it could lay down two colors, side/side, it might
work. I would drive up to MN and wash everyones cars for the winter
mud, for this feature in PSP 8.2 painter edition.
