Default HPI Bronco

What do you guys think, its my first time doing anything besides a single color.
The color is competition orange and black, although it doesn't look orange in the pictures it is.

On a side note, Model Masters paint sucks.
What tips do you have for getting the edges of my liquid mask to be sharper, they kind of feathered and look crappy up close.

you have to cover the entire body with several coats of mask. let it dry and use a new xacto blade. That will give you crisp lines.

exactly, you have to coat excess over your cutting lines (for the fenders you have to put masking all they way up to like the bed line and hood, then just xacto away what you dont want.), but looks good for the first time with two colors.
