In one afternoon, I sprayed the single black fin on two models.
The fin area was hung over the edge of the table. Inside the the tube ends is a can of spray paint to keep the models weighted down and from rolling off the table.
On the left is the rounded root edge after the tape was lifted.
On the right is the same fin after "pushing" the paint edge back on itself. I don't scrape off the paint, but push it back into the black while the paint is still tacky.
On the left,
Not all the Scotch Tape masks have been lifted.
Notice the black paint smudges between the fin and launch lug line. These black marks were probably transferred off my painted fingers.
Polish out and remove the black marks with a magic sponge. The magic sponge can dull the gloss a bit. Bring it back with some polishing compound.
Here's another black smudge.
More rubbing with a damp Magic Sponge and fine polishing.
Your fin masks, as usual are superlative.
