| Multi colour hardbody paint job help
I'm about to attempt a similar paint job on my D90 to the 1:1 in the photos. Going to swap the blue for black though. I would also like the block colours to fade into the white where joins if possible. I would love some input on the right method to nail it. My thoughts are this order: 1. Prep and prime. 2. Spray front half black and back half orange. 3. Mask up the orange and black jagged design. 4. Spray whole body in white. Paying attention to feathering in the white where it joins the other colours with a shield or a mesh. 5. Wet sand 6. Apply decals 7. Clear coat. Any advice or help is appreciated, never done anything like this before! Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk |

For exterior paint, go light to dark, for inside lexan, dark first. SOP! Hang up and Drive |

1. Totally coat in white. 2. Cut out Mask for orange section and paint orange. 3. Cover orange section and cut out Mask for black section. Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk | |

Yessir, key is to make sure paint is hard enough so the tape doesn’t lift it. I also like to use a clearcoat between paint and edge of tape to prevent bleed , lay tape and burnish to seat edge, then clear that edge, wait and then color. Rare to get any bleeding that way, HOK makes an undercoat clear (SG100) for this between graphics . Hang up and Drive | |

Yep I'm super concerned with masking on-top of paint. Will let the initial white layer dry for at least a week before progressing. Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk |

Overkill, Overnight is way too much. Most paints have a recoat window, Tamiya TS is 72 hours if not done in the first 4. TS lacquers flash and dry quickly. 3 coats, wait 3 hours then tape. Use the good tape, not the green stuff Hang up and Drive |

If you want a crisp sharp paint job, quality paint is needed. Trouble with some solvent paints is incompatibility causing bubbles and other awful things. Hang up and Drive |

Good tips ^^ Myself use a smell test to check if paint has cured. Paint gasses out as it cures, dry paint has no paint smell ....... @ mikecE .... Everglades did a bunch of camping there when living in Miami Small world Pep |

Got the colour done. Few mistakes...mainly from using old masking tape on the blue section! But overall pretty happy. Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk |
