ok now you let that dry for a while ! after it has set for an hour or 2 prees the tape down lightly with your hand then remove the type a layer at a time ,DONT <DONT try and take it off from the bottom layer in 1 quick move it will lift the panit and the 8 hrs you just wasted , Take the tape off and see what you got LOL!After tape is off go back with a brush and fix any thing that you see you want to overlap or has lifted ,then clear it with a light coat and let it set up ,then very very lightly wet sand it and then clear it as if you were to clear it as you other modles after that wet sand it again and polish it out and you wont have a havey lines where you had all the tape LOL!Sorry to say that a sold this kit to a member if AF about 2 yrs ago ,but i made a CD of the build and was able to share with you all Later and enjoy the new year !

that is crazy wicked sick man!!! :)

Nice tutorial. Even if I don't particularly like this type of paintjob, I think the technique you showed is very usefull. :)

Hey, is that you itr?
I remember that a while back a member here was trying to sell it (probally over a year ago, i think).
He said he was selling it for someone else.
I think it's a beautiful model, but the paintjob is a little too busy for me. I think the interior, bodykit, wheels and drop top conversion are all stunning.

Btw.. welcome and thanks for the great tutorial!:wave:

Whoa: Flashback...

"You can do what you wanna do....in living color..." LOL

Nice work. How did the edges of the masking come out? Any sanding?

:eek: :eek: thats crazy

Nice stuff! Where do you get your PPG Paints from?

most automotive paint stores! But I am a paint by trade !so my paint comes form left overs !

Very Nice! Good Tutorial.

Thats Wicked!

Rob

That was cool!! :eek:

What was the point of the mirror? I want to try this but I don't grasp the whole concept. Yes and do a gelpen tutorial

i use a mirrior , you can use glass ,the prupose is so that you can lay the tape down draw on it ,cut it out and then left it off and place on the model , the rest of the thing i try to use the tape would come back off or it would lose its sticky ,So thats the purpose of the mirrior or glass!

great how to! :grinyes:
