Got the boys car painted. Love it and a little timid to throw it out on the track. Lol. Guess I’d better see if I can reproduce my own work.

Beautiful paint job! I wish I could do that quality of work. If you don’t mind, could you tell us what masking materials you used and the order of paint you sprayed. I don’t think I could line up those silver stripes so perfectly...

I didn’t take any pictures as I was doing it because I had no idea how it would turn out. Completely shot from the hip here. So simply put I had very little idea of what I was doing. First I put in the window mask stickers. Then I laid down the pin stripes by hand using a thin tape. Eye balled it and took my time. After that I masked off the white and red areas with blue masking tape. That left the blue open and first color to be sprayed. Removed the red area and painted that second. Removed the white and shot that third. Then came the tricky part. I continually played this over in my head. I needed to cut out the outside of the window masks to create the silver striping to match the pin stripes. So I drew on the outside of the body and then held it to the light to transfer the drawing to the inside so that I could cut with the knife. Peeled off the pin stripe and the outside of the windows and then painted the silver last. I turned out a hundred times better than I thought it would. Hope this helps.

It is a Tamiya product. Off the shelf of my local shop. Sizes vary. I threw away the package. I will have to measure. It works ok.
