Another shot. THe paint around the masked area is a little ragged due to the quick heavy coat of primer. I have noticed that the H/L (Chinese) tape will leave a little residue whcih is a problem that I never experianced with real "ChartPak" tape. A little "GooGone" on a Q-tip takes care of the problem. Feel free to ask more questions, that's what it's all about. |

To remove the mask and tape, just lift off with a fingernail, knife blade, toothpick or whatever. See how the mask just peels off. One word of caution: It is best to peel the mask back as shown to make sure that the loose paint particles stay off of teh clear area. |

A quick shot of primer for reference. Has this beeb the real thing, the masking would stay on until all painting and overcoating was completed. |

Ready to paint. The masking fluid dries almost clear. |

Continuing on with the process. There are a couple of bubbles evident but have skinned over so they are OK. |
