Overspray masking

[Ben Turner]

Hi Guys, I was just wondering what people are using for masking shells that dont come with the overspray film? As a lot of the micro shells dont come with film. I was thinking a thin layer of liquid mask? Or do you just use tape/paper etc?

Cheers,
Ben

depends on what paint your using buddy if its water based or poly carb

Faskolor

Just use some Lynx deodorant (not anti-perspirant) or surgical spirit (both available at boots, hehe). Spray on a cloth and wipe off any overspray, no problems.

p.s. Water will take off faskolor if you're quick enough!

water based then buddy no need to mask as it will just wipe of mate or if it does over spray and dries then use paper towel and spray linx deoderant (100% alcohlic base)on the paper towel then wipe off the shell ,, perment marker pen can also be removed like this too buddy ,, happy painting dude
