    There’s this stuff called “Parafilm-M” that works a charm for what you’re doing. It’s meant to be stretched. After you stretch it, it makes it a very thin material, much thinner than any masking tape. It clings very tightly around compound curves and fine crevices. I’ve been using it for years for masking canopies on aircraft models. Give it a go. I think you’ll agree it works much better and easier than masking tape. Happy modeling!

      I've been using liquid mask for a while now. Same kind of concept. Paint it on and It will peel like a plastic film, cuts easier than masking tape, and no bleeding underneath like tape always seems to do.

    Great video! Something I would like to add is for people that sometimes have bleed through with masking where it will actually go under the masking tape! If you use some sort of clearcoat first like a nice thin tamiya flat clear, it seals the tape pretty good and prevents bleed through! Great for doing two tone colours as well!

    Hi there, very nice video. I have a question. I did the same that you, but when I took off the masking tape (both types: regular and making for curves) the marks of the masking tape were marked on my paint job. Do you know why it happened..? Thanks for your answer.

    This is a great idea for the trim if you're building a Show model.. And your definitely looks great. But I don't have a ton of tape or a Air Brush.. So I just use a Black Sharpie and it comes out pretty good.

    My base paint always peels off after i unmask the tape. Can you show me how to resolve that problem! Thanks a lot.

    • @BlueGillage
      @BlueGillage 2 года назад +2

      That could be from any number of things. Main cause is there is a thin layer of plastic molding release agent on all plastic models that needs to be removed. Ever notice how shiny the plastic parts are when you first open the box, thats the mold release agent on the parts. Simply soak all parts in a bath of water with Dawn dish detergent. Another reason for paint peeling is acrylic based paints. Acrylic paint is notorious for peeling from tape. Try using a primer before your basecoat color as well. Make sure your using a low tack tape or frisket film. Regular tape is to strong and will peel the paint right off. Hope this helped, good luck.

    Behind the side windows there is this "black stain", both driver and passenger's sides. At first I thought you had a leak in your mask, but it is there before you start masking. Is this a problem in the plastic? Or just a mistake you plan on fixing later?

    What if you don’t gloss coat it will it come off? A lot of factory trim is flat black so if you coat it it will be glossy

      If it is Acrylic paint and you don't gloss it it will come off. Enamel sometimes does not come off.

      A lot of effort but worth it in the long run. I tried free handing my last model car's trim and I'll never do that again, haha. I don't have a steady enough hand for that, it came out way too messy. Sharpies or chrome markers are probably a better option for people like me, if we don't feel like masking and spraying it.

    I have to be honest here - with almost sixty years of model building under my belt, that masking tape is some of the crappiest tape I've ever used. Use tape from the automotive paint jobber shop, if you want quality tape.

      What did you use to paint with? Airbrushes can solve this, as they spray much lighter and thinner so the paint won't pool up at the edges of the tape.
