I totally recommend liquid mask, especially for curved lines and/or lines that go through corners or difficult-to-reach niches. I've used the best pinstriping tape money can buy (3M vinyl fine line tape in various widths) and they ALL let paint bleed through, especially when you try to curve the tap...

Oldskool trick of avoiding paintbleed under tape is to seal the edge with clear before shooting colour.
PS Matte Clear would work.

1/8 scale servos Futaba FP-S7 and Kraft PS15-II. Both around 1975, never used.

Lighter fluid will turn the adhesive loose without damaging the paint. I've used it with paper towels and q-tips to clean up edges.

After some years I figured I should put up a gallery. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of build timeline pics that a lot of you guys have, but going forward I'll try my best as they're very helpful. I have a decent amount of car and trucks to post which will take some time.

I'm into a lot of various things. Truth be told I probably have too many hobbies. I use to be a big muscle car guy/gearhead pretty much my whole life, have had numerous GTO's, Chevelles, and an old t bird. spent about 30 yrs into cars.
