Default window masks!

genius! Ive been drawing up a few window masks for various buggys so I can paint shells more easily.. for instance the KIT xx4 paint masks are crap, they left residue on the shell. The B4 Illusion scoopless I got off rich lowe had no paint masks (had to take a photo of the shell and draw them), and the X-5 paint masks / window shapes I thought were a bit naff, so I re-did them.

Anyway!
I thought about how to make painting the window lines a bit easier, and I ended up with the original sized window mask, then a smaller (2mm all round in this case) identical mask which is put on after painting and de masking for the final window border painting.

you can see on this ZX5 shell the paint mask applied.

Its just a test as im not putting a frame on that shell as it wasn't required.

anyway, I thought about sticking window&frame masks up for sale for a nominal price, like a Quid. Its nice low-tack vinyl, easy to re-position and you can easily cut it when its applied to create thicker frame areas or whatever you like.

This is the XX4 one, the left is first, the right masks are for doing the frame, you get the idea.


Anyone think its a stupid idea? I've never seen anyone else offer anything similar.
maybe its one of them 5 minute good ideas.. ah well.
