Painting Lines

(1/2) > >>

Motorman:
Are there any articles or threads that explain how to paint lines start to finish. I can mask off a line and paint it but it has ridges so, must be some trick to it I don't know.

Thanks,
MM :)

credit card trick may help knock them down. Too thick of a coat will make it very difficult to remove them. Use thin paint, build them up with 3 coats, let dry, you can even lightly scuff the color with 1500. After that spray with clear 50/50. 4 coats. Skuff sand clear with 1200. Then spray one or 2 wet coats over it

Are you talking about panel lines or the paint line between two colors?

Like if I have a white fuselage and I want to put a blue stripe on it.

   I am far from an expert, but I usually put down a strip of tape the width of the line as a guide, then butt more tape on either side, then pull off the center. Then just paint it.
