one would have to agree

although, your first stop for rcs products should be your local hobby shop

I used to use old skool tape and film to mask my shells, liquid mask is definitely the future, no more missed area's where you accidentally spray through. It's great stuff !

Hey,

Its simple enough just clean body as usual, then either brush, spray or sponge liquid mask on to the the body (inside obviously) dry and build it up a few coats ( i use 3-4 medium coats).

leave to fully dry and then cut out design as desired.

+1 on Jons (RCS) liquid mask works a treat

does anybody on here spray the liquid mask, and therefore able to advise what kit is best suited to this job?

I imagine the finish is much better when sprayed - as careful as I am to apply the mask thinly with a brush, it's never going to be as good as a spray tan !!
