Scotch tape isn't very flexible - so the only way to get the curved line is to set down a piece of tape, then draw an arc with a wide point Sharpie. Wipe off the excess ink with a paper towel.
Cut a smooth arc thru the middle of the ink line.
Here I'm lifting the masking strip off my cutting glass.
On the right, the rest of the body is masked off.
Seal the tape edge with a Q-tip.
It's softer than a fingernail.
Here's the silver paint after the tape was pulled.
I got some good, sharp lines.
What brand of silver paint do you use, and do you clear coat it?
ReplyDeleteHi Augendoc,
DeleteIt's sometimes hard to find a "silver" spray paint. This time I used Rusto Metallic 7715830 Bright Coat Aluminum. There's not much of a difference between the silver and aluminum spray paints.
NEVER clear coat metallic or silver paints! It will turn them a dull gray.
