Do you mean guidelines for cutting the masking? Or do you mean lines on the exterior? Need more info to help on this I guess.

Most bodies have a clear protective/overspray film that you can draw on. After you mask the inside you use a BRAND NEW NO. 11 X-Axto blade and simply follow the exterior lines from the inside.

For making straight cuts on the inside of a body I use a scrap piece of lexan that I have cut with a straight edge. You can conform it and also trim it to fit tight areas for a straight cut.
