Painting

I use 3M Drafting Tape as it does not stick as much as masking tape does which should lead to paint not lifting off when the tape is pulled off. I also put the tape down on a sheet of glass and cut the tape with an X-acto knife to get rid of the fuzzy edge. <br /> <br />After the tape is down I will go over the edge with the color that was covered up in order to seal the edge of the tape and prevent bleeding of the overspray color. For example if the first color is yellow I will spray the edge with yellow and then when dry spray the over coat of black. This should get you a good color separation. <br /> <br />I have used mostly Floquil Regular for my plastic models and Scalecoat I for my brass models. I am going to try Scalecoat II for plastic. <br /> <br />Rick
