New Tamiya masking tape and a masking tutorial.
I'm using Tamiya's new 40mm wide masking tape to mask the window trim of this Revell Civic. As you can see this width tape works nicely for this job, one strip covers the whole area.
  After pressing the tape into the grooves around the windows and firmly up against the lower raised window trim, I trimmed around the area with an Exacto knife.  I did the same for all windows and used the scrap trimmings to mask the rest of the car in conjunction with more unused tape.  In this step I have air brushed black acrylic paint onto the exposed window trim areas. As a rule I use acrylic paints for window trim if the body has been painted with an oil based paint, and oil based enamel if it had been painted with an acrylic paint. This makes cleaning up edges easier because the paints are less likely to melt into each other.  After I removed the tape some of the edges appeared a little uneven. Using a toothpick, I scraped around the jagged edges of the black paint to even it out, this doesn't hurt the orange paint on the body. Some very minor touch up with a brush fixed the trim to look satisfactory.  Here is the completed trim work, I chose to leave the trim around the sun roof orange as I didn't want a big black square on the roof. This was accomplished in about 40 minutes. Next step is to accent the panel lines.

Very clean. Although you seem to have forgot to mask off the border of the sunroof.

Can I ask where you purchased the masking tape? Would I be able to order it online? Thanks.

Nice demonstration Veyron.
Is this new 40mm tape the same material as the narrower widths from Tamiya, or is it more like packing tape?
