Bullitt Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 As you can see, I messed up when paining the coves. I thought they were complete until I installed them & saw that I now have to finish the white on the fender. This will entail taping & masking and I am wondering, what is the favourite material used to mask the car while painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 The best stuff I've used is Tamiya Tape to mask off the edges at the chrome trim line, burnished down really well, and then use blue painters masking tape to overlap that and the rest of the body. You will probably have to wash off some residue from the tape after the paint dries and the tape is removed. I've used WD40 scrubbed with a foam pad, and then rewash the whole thing with Dawn to completely remove any WD40. Then let the whole thing air dry for a day. Then you can clearcoat it and then apply your BMF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
