| Diminishing Masking Line
I haven't read anything about this on here, including the stickies, so I'll ask. I recently did some painting on a hard body and wound up with a very defined, feel-able line from the edge of the masking tape. Anyone have a good tip as to how to diminish or at least blend such a line? |

In the 1:1 world they clear coat over stripes and graphics, I don't know how well that would work in 1/10 scale though.

Yep in the real world they use clear coat, but even then you see edges of decals and different paints. BTW you posted this thread twice from what I can tell so I deleted the other one. PM me if I missed something. |

Intercoat clear between layers and colors helps prevent lifting when taping also helps to level.... you can clear , but your going to have the ridge left. That’s what misting is all about Hang up and Drive | |

Same as others have said but with the clear you then would want to wet sand it smooth just like 1:1.
