Estes Space Shuttle Columbia Build #1385, Part 15, Pulling The Tape & A Fix


This paint is actually a mid gray color. It just photographed dark.

I was happy with the Scotch tape masks after the tape was lifted. Most all the lines were straight and sharp except for this outside edge.

Another piece of marked Scotch tape was set over the rough line.
Gray paint was sprayed in a small plastic cup. A clean brush was dipped in the pool of paint and the excess wiped off. 
Paint was lightly brushed over the rough edge.


The tape was pulled and I was left with a cleaner line. Not quite as sharp as other masks, but much better than it was.

This gray is Ace Premium Enamel spray paint.
When brushed on as a touch-up, the Ace paint shows very little brush marks and won't lift the previous color coat. It just works!
