I used a mountain of painter's tape. Maybe I should have the surgery to replace some of my thumbs with fingers :freak: . I also painted a set of RRR steels the same orange as on the car. I would show them but they're not dry yet. Anyone know where I can get HO " sponser" decals?? I saw them somewhere, but don't remember where. I'm hoping this will be a pretty good looking stocker when i'm done.

This was painted with a can of Testor's competition orange.

Wow Jerry. Nice two tone. Really crisp lines!

Very nice.

What are you using to mask? Depending on the paint scheme I use Parma liquid mask (for curved lines) and Tamiya 6mm for strait lines. Then regular masing tape to cover everything else.

If you can do that with all thumbs, I'd love to see what you can do with fingers. ;)

That is one nice paint job! I wish it was mine...Lucky!

The guy I have gotten lots of water decals from on the bay told me that the company that makes his printer is going out of business. It uses a special white ink (most printers just let the white paper do the white) and he will not be able to get anymore. He also said that he is running out his business and going onto something else.

His link doesn't even show up on my "ME" page anymore. What a drag. If you need some sponsor decals shoot me a PM and I can mail you some extras I bought. I gotta get some more Mooneyes decals quick....Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, Bob

MAYHEM,
I used regular blue painters tape. The stuff you use to paint a room.


BOB,
Thanks for the offer, but I am looking for decals for the hood, like Pepsi, Coke, Bud, Miller and such.

Nice paint job.

Scotch tape gives nice crisp lines.

It can, but I've also seen paint leach underneath it.

I've had it leach underneath masking tape more times than I've had it leach under Scotch tape. Pactra Trim Tape works really good too.

It's a body kit from HO-MODELS(formerly dees tees) on Ebay. It comes with body, bumpers, and glass. Some kits even come with decals.

I use a good quality scotch tape also. After getting it masked, I usually seal the seams with a clear acrylic so that any opportunities to leach will be sealed and then paint over that.
