What brand and type of tape are you using for the masking you do?
How did you manage the perfect radius of the corners on the front cowl white painted area at the closest edge to the front of the car?
Really excellent work all throughout this build Eric
You have convinced me to save some money and get one of these.
Cheers

Thanks John. Yes, in my carelessness I forgot to to double check that the tape was sealed around all edges before I sprayed the paint. However, a little wet sanding along the black edge removed most of the bleed through and a touch up of white paint fixed the rest of it. It's resolved now and ready for clear coating.
I use Tamiya tape of various widths for masking most of the time. Sometimes I use Bare Metal Foil as a mask. In this case it was all Tamiya tape. For the area at the front of the car I actually made a pattern from the tape using the decal to make the pattern. I cut out the decal, traced it onto the tape, cut the tape to the shape and applied it to the car.
