Not what it is supposed to look like. Do'h!!

I had vinyl masks made and used acrylic paint through an airbrush. I think the water based paint would pull away from the edge of the masks because of surface tension. So I would add more paint. The paint also did not stick well to the olive drab. When I removed the masks, I removed a lot of the graphics as well. Plus, a lot of bleed under.

Try airbrushing the same olive drab first inside the masked off areas. This will be the color that bleeds and actually will seal the edges. Then go to white. I usually had great results doing this.

Moostang, thanks. That is my plan for painting, round 2.
