Back in the day! Yes am an old guy now! but whenever we were stripping or flaming stuff it was almost a given that we would ALWAYS run a razor or exacto along ALL edges before we began unmasking, just to make sure! still do it today!

Thanks for uploading this. Im going to be using this trick on a Revell 68 Gt2 Mustang. Blue with a nice white stripe. Tryin this out soon with spray paints. Keep ya posted!

Awesome tip vid bro, I gotta try this out one day. For the tape, you could make a flap that way it's easier to peel off then having to scrape the corner up to pull it off. You use water bottles like I do, they can be a pain in the rear too!! Peace!!

great job and explanation. thanks!

Thank you very much for this video! It was super helpful!

very clean work ...THX fot this tip

great video hope to see more painting videos

Nicely done. Good tip. I haven't done it yet but I know to take my time, and mask and pull tape carefully.

Thanks for watching!

@ModelKarKid It depends on what type of paint you are using. With the Testors one coat you can usaly clear within 24 hours. With enamel paint it takes longer. If you paint enamel its a good idea to let it sit for a few days maybe a week so that it can fully cure. Lacquer dries a lot quicker than enamel.

That is cool...I used the same kind of paint on a couple of mine it lays down very well.

Nice...Good paint too I used it on a couple of mine.

@pturley84 thanks man this will sure help me out on my chevelle and by the way ur dodge ur workin on right now is SWEET!!!!!

the tape goes up to 18 mm here in Australia Paul Turley

i want to paint stripes on hdpe - is masking tape suitable for that too?

Hi!! So u do paint jobs for other people? I need some strips on a Chevy Chevelle but I'm not brave enough to do it.

Whoa that's nyc

Great video man How would you describe the paint being tacky

@05kingcobra What kind of spoiler of are you wanting to make?

@Dogs50ful Thanks man. I'll check your vid out1

@UppnAway69 Tacky would be the same as being a little sticky.

Thanks for posting the VID, unfortunately it did not finish all the way not sure if it is something at my end or not?

why does my tape peel off the paint?

I got them from Hobby Lobby

Nice video, thanks :) Question: Why paint the whole piece metallic gold if you're just going going to paint over 80% of it with another colour, leaving small gold stripes? Is it possible to paint a gold stripe down the middle, leaving most of the piece un-painted, then mask and paint the rest in the other colour?

+sypher0101 Hi Sypher, thanks for watching. Yes you can just paint down the middle and then mask off. Since I was painting with a rattle can and they have such a wide spray I just painted whole part since it was small. I do most of my painting now with an airbrush so that allows me to control the paint flow and therefore not have to paint so much.

Dots?

@Dogs50ful Hey man, I don't have the stuff right now to make a spoiler and I have never made one before, but if I get a chance to make one I will.

real good video, but will this work with acrylic paint, ..?

Thanks Joe! Yes this same technique will work with acrylic. Just make sure your first coat of paint is completely dry before applying tape so it doesn't pull it up.
