I have used the Lazy Modeller flame masks 3 times. It's an excellent product, just to be clear. The first two I did were successful given the awkwardness due to my inexperience. Whatever was wrong was due to that. The last one, though, I view as a gross misunderstanding of the paint itself, and what I did before applying the mask. The car was given a black overall paint job with rattle can enamel and after curing for a few weeks, was wet sanded and then micro-polished using the pads. I then used Novus fine scratch remover resulting in a satisfactory black paint job (difficult for me.) Using every bit of patience I still have, I applied the mask. The idea I had was a fade from yellow to red using Alclad II candy enamel over their silver underbase. I waited till the flames were just dry and began pulling the mask. It seemed to go well till the candy along with it's underbase started lifting clean off in some areas. Not a total loss but I know this could have been avoided had I done something differently. What are your thoughts? ?
