This is an interesting body that I painted. I think it turned out ok. I wasn't a big fan of the tribal flame mask once I prepped it, but I am not one to waste money so I used it anyways.

BEAUTIFUL job! Really, it looks GREAT!

Are those XXXMain tribal flames?

What did you use to mask off the windows and body to get that blue trim-line around the windows? They set it all off beautifully!

Wow, thanks! The mask is a Parma/PSE mask, but I can't find it on their website. I can't remember the mask's name.

As far as the paint around the windows, the secret is to use the window masks that comes with the car. Before you stick them on the car, use an exacto knife and cut a parameter around the window mask. Then, use masking tape over the window mask to hold it together and put the mask on the car like you normally would. Then, when it comes time to shoot the window frames the color you want, peel off the masking tape and peel back the portion of window mask that you cut with the exacto.
