Default covering the fuselage question

Allright guys hereare my questions. Using either monokote, ultrakote etc.

1. How do you cover a fuselage using 2 colors and get a perfect line down the middle of the fuselage? In other words as an example say you were going to do the top half of the fuselage in one color and the lower half in another color where the 2 colors meet i.e the centerline of the fuse how do you make that line straight? I have noticed that sometimes when you use 2 colors the top color sometimes will bleed.


I am looking for step by step instructions.

This is for a giant scale model not a small model. I am not going to glass this model so can we leave that discussion alone? This is just for heat shrink coveringpurposes only.

2. Also have any of you used monokote or ultrakote on the fiberglass cowl and wing tips?

Thanks in advance
