Well...this morning was the day to mask off the top and spray it Matt Black.  I'm always a little Leary when it comes to masking anything off to paint.  I always seem to get a little bleed under.  All went well and I'm liking how it turned out.

I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Engine has been wired, top painted, and headlight buckets painted but still need to be foiled.  Can't wait for that.  Still have to cut the front and rear glass and the water pump has been pinned but still needs to be glued to the timing chain cover.

How can you print it in 1/24th scale?

The .stl file comes in 1/25 scale.  I just scaled it up 4.167% to 1/24 scale in my slicer.

I had that issue a lot too. Here's what I do now. 

I spray my base colour, so in your example, the red. Then I mask, then I spray a thin coat of the base colour again. That way, if I get any bleed through, it's the base colour. Then I spray my second colour. Seems to be working so far.
