Back to work!!!
I have the base color down.....dried in the dehydrator over night.
I needed a .20 inch black stripe around the bottom of the body shell. I use a set of digital calipers set to .20 and I VERY lightly scribe a line around the shell.
I then use Tamiya masking tape to mask off this area. I burnish the edge of the tape with my fingernail to make sure it seals well to the shell. I then use Shurtape CP 60 to mask the remainder. The Shurtape is a lower tack tape so don't use it for paint break edges. But it's great for just masking as it does not stick had enough to cause issues. If you seal the edge well enough you should end up with a edge like this.
Note that even on panel lines no paint creep. I painted the hood mask with Dupli-color black primer. Again Tamiya masking tape burnished on all edges, then Shurtape. I used a food storage bag to cover the rest of the body.
We are close to finished with paint. I'll apply my custom decals next and finish with a final clear flat coat and some light weathering. Thanks
