Default outside the body??

Im wondering i have a proline 1992 body im planning of making all blue....so i dont get to mask anything but i was wondering for the tire covers & the top roof rack lines that needs to be black can i paint them outside (matte) or something like so how would i be able to do a clean job without messing the entire job up?

If you take your time, you can mask off those lines. To me, it sounds like it may look odd, but I don't know. Maybe try it out on some scrap pieces? That's why Proline gave you all that extra junk lexan around the body

The real trick to that is light coats... " mist" it and let it dry. Too heavy a coat of paint will seep right into your making material. A little patience will go a long way.

When I did mine, I just trimmed the masking film around the lines and painted outside. Turned out well and very clean lines.
