Well after a few seasons on my Alfa I thought it was high time to paint my Stratus which was sitting on the shelf for over a year. I'm excited to see the aerodynamic difference.Here is my Crayola scheme which I do on photocopies.,

I just washed it getting it ready to paint.I am going to Windex my window masks on now so I can position them perfectly. I'm going to tape templates on the outside for the stripes so they will be even on both sides and then use fineline tape to define them. I have to pick up some more liquid mask too...

Where do you buy the liquid mask at? I have seen it in magazines but not at the local hobby shops. Hows it work compared to tape?

I have been painting my newest body with it without the best results. It is supposed to peel off although it doesn't really, even though I put gobs and gobs of it on my car. I still have one color left to paint on my car, so I hope the lines are clean when I take all the masking off.

I Dont believe it, spent a couple of hours with the fine line tape and were there. I used all 1/8 fine line, what a pain wiggling that stuff around the inside of the body! I find it easier to cut the piece to approx. length instead of fighting the roll.
I guess I could have put this under the detailing section...

I'm just wondering if I should cut the rear spoiler away from the body first, I think this is what I did before?
