Do I use the Tamiya Acrylic bottles of semi-gloss for window trim or will it bleed through? Or should i spray some Laquer Black and do it with a brush? Tanks

If you're planning to airbrush it - it will be fine, just use lower pressure and go over it several times.

If you're planning to paintbrush the X18 acrylic - more likely than not it will bleed under the maskin tape.

So your saying if i use tamiya acrylic with Tamiya Tape it WILL bleed? You made that sound to complicated.

It will bleed if you try to brushpaint it. If you airbrush it - it won't bleed. What's so complicated?

Yes, the Acrylic paint might bleed alittle, but you can wash off the bleed paint right away. I always use acrylic paint for windows trim.

Just don't put it aside too long after dry. After you peel the tape off, wash them out with a cotton swab.
