| So how do you paint it and not cover or hide the hash marks ? I've had limited success, unless I taped them off and just fogged them later |
|
I've tried two ways...
First, no tape just sprayed the scope and then took a q-tip with thinner or some solvent and removed the paint after each coat except the final dusting. Second, taped everything and sprayed scope. Then removed the tape before the final dusting. Both took about the same time but I preferred using the tape.

Quoted:
There is also liquid masking materials, look in the plastic model sections of top end hobby sites and stores and you can find it easy enough. It can be applied with fine paint brushs and toothpicks or sprayed on. Now this sounds alot like Brownells release agent. Too bad modeling is a thing of the past here. All that glue and paint the kids can sniff. Yet they replace it with spray paint? Go figure. 3M makes or did a clear mask that I can't find here anymore. Maybe kids sniff it as well. Nearest REAL hobby shop is about 20 miles north and I'm headed past it this w/e. Will check it out. Gotta a Mfg. or product name for this? Thanks |
