Another Sand Scorcher Shell

Post by soniccj5 »

I have been getting my body ready for the VONATS concours.

Today I put down my second color and I think it came out ok. I did learn that if you pay for good masking tape it makes a huge difference. I used a mixture of Fastkolor and 3m masking tape. I found that the Fastkolor did not bleed and made for much sharper lines.

Next comes the clear coat and some more wet sanding.

A tip for clean cuts is to spray clear over your tape to seal it before spraying your next color
