Working on the bed assembly pt. 2

[addicted2modeling]

So far I painted my bed's lower half in pewter metallic as I wanted. I used Scotch blue painters tape, and Tamiya's masking tape for the edging. It came out really nice! I used 3 LMC and then one wet coat, which I will stop at there.

there's a fellow on You-Tube named Hunter Selby. he just did a great tutorial how to get clean separation lines - and used a rattle can to prove it could be done. well worth the ten minute watch.

My work is pretty good, don't you agree?

[southpier]

yes!!!

I thought this was the thread about having the paint bleed or tear up when the tape was removed.

(up from my nap, now - a lot of things look different)

Thanks!! I think I'm gonna buy Frog Tape to mask off the bottom portion just to be very safe. I got Tamiya's 6mm masking tape and Scotch's blue painter masking tape.

Here is the tailgate part of my truck. I 06'd the tailgate, meaning I scraped off the "Chevrolet" badge and leave the "Silverado" badge intact like the real 2006 Silverado has.

Looking good.

Thank you! It's 95% done all it the whole body needs is a gloss clear coat and the hood to be painted then clear coated. After that, I got to paint the small details like the engine, wheels, etc..
