[Chris S]

Are you doing a hard edge camo Spud ?

Chris.

 

[spud]

letting it dry atm before i take of the making tape i hope i squished it down enough do i dont get bleed trough.

all will be revealed soon chris ;D

 

[Chris S]

Oooh sounds good ;D

Chris.

 

[Tony lee]

Spud you want to hear a little tip that will come in handy?
Have you got some Future or Pledge with Future Shine or what ever it's called where you are.
I use a small brush and seal the edge of the tape with it. It will help keep the paint from bleeding under the tape buddy.

When I painted the white band across the bonnet of my "Diana" that's what I did and the edge is nice and crisp.

Sounds like this is too late for you to try it on this one.

[Chris S]

I use 3M Fineline carbody tape ( blue ) ...gives a real sharp edge

Chris.

 

[spud]

hehe ya a little to late bud but its a good tip ill remember that for the next time,

any how i got away with it but i forgot to repair the front plate but i can till do that.
