RE: airbrush???

I use an Iwata Evolution ($70) brush. I have used it for the last 3 years and after 30+ paint jobs for customers it has yet to let me down. Well worth the small amount of cash.

RE: Window Mask Help

Useing Liquid Mask and then simply following the edges of the windows with a new X-acto blade will be the easiest way.

RE: brush or spray

I always trim the body before paint. It just eliminates any chance for scratching the fresh paint when your trimming it out that way.
