For the record of my modeling progress, I started re-primer-ing my NSX yesterday.

Excellente! Did you go for your method of removing the old paint?
What you gonna spray it with this time? What was it that made it all go pear shaped? |

Can you get Tamiyas masking tape, as it is by far the best and comes recommended. I wouldn't use anything else now. Yep, use a brand new scalpel tip, a must! Remember to lay the first coat on light too, as the paint seals the edge of the tape when it dries, and you can then go a little heavier on the next coat without leakage! |

Yes. All black from the windowline up. I also cheated a bit and painted the top edge of the engine bay and vent at the same time.
The black leaked under the tape onto the red. I had been using plain masking tape, but I'll be making a trip to the hobby store to find something better. I'll look for the Tamiya stuff. I may as well give them all my money. |

Tamiya masking tape
Another good stuff is BARE-METAL FOIL ...it's rather dear but is good for around windows if you have to paint black on them. Its also the stuff for doing any chrome trimmings on cars or behind clear head/tail lights.....looks better then any painting.

Also, for window trim, they've started making black BMF. Good stuff. |

I'd only use it on the windows (BMF) and the Tamiya tape on the body.

When I did it the first time I did the edges with BMF, and trimed them with my #11 X-acto knife. Because I used fairly thin strips of BMF, I taped around the edges of that with regular masking tape. Then, I blocked of the rest with squares of this plastic cut from grocery store bags.
It was quite a get-up. |

The latest batch of BMF I bought is crap! Hardly sticky at all! I end having to glue most of it on, so I won't be using that for masking!!!

Wow! Sorry to hear it. Is this the first time you've used it?

Today I painted my Pontiac Firebird Ram-Air. While I was spray painting it I noticed there were little bubbles in the paint. So I stripped all of the paint off. By the way this is the second time I had to strip the paint off of this particular model. Does anyone know what the bubbles could be caused from? Before I put the paint on I primered the body. So I don't know if that is what caused it.
