Exactly what technique did you use to paint your PRO? Exactly what kind of covering did you use? And, what kind of paint did you use as well? I assume you covered it white, then masked and painted over it with red? What kind of masking tape did you use? I was thinking of getting some good stuff from the auto paint shop.

I painted Red over White (Lusterkote), used cheap masking tape, and regretted it. I will make sure I follow the directions on the can to the letter next time as well.
The checkerboard is Ultrakote, everything else is monokote. (Dark Red, White, Black)
The belly pan was the most difficult to cover, I'm still considering redoing it in two peices.
This project will have taken over 3 years to complete. My wife got the kit for me as a christmas present back in 2001. I got the engine for christmas in 2002. Everything else about a year ago; and finally found the time to finish it this year.
