TaffyMan Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Aye mate give it a go on a tester - I said the same at the time Mal told me. But then you would do it for a decal! I have definatly had less problems with paint lifting sinse I have started doing it this way. As said depends on what and how i'm applying the mask - on or over!

Answer your question about spraying a light clear under the masks - yes I do but a very thin coat it seems to help the mask to stick and less chance of paint liffting. I also get less bleed along any panel lines. I still warm it with may finger heat and run a toothpick gently along it to make sure. It was a Tip I got from Mal at Miraclemasks. Don’t use it every time Max depends what i’m doing but on a job over camo then yes I would. Happy Days - Taff "D Another one for my notes! Thanks for the tip.

mozart Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Final stages, whole roundels put back in place then red centre removed, replaced and blue outer done: The transfer piece here is sold for Cricut machines - low tack, completely clear (which is a distinct advantage) and with the grid on it which helps: and before very long at all: KiwiZac, R Palimaka, RLWP and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Cheers Kev! Whenever I use masks my first thoughts are about the sequence of colours so that I have to remove and replace as few areas as possible, or those that I do are the easiest ones. So it’s far easier to put the red centre spot back in place than the narrow outer ring for instance. Anything for a quiet life!
