I have a quick question for you experts out there. How do you paint over the "flex" hinges that are part of the actual layup of the model? I'm painting my Eurosport and I'm wondering what, if anything, I need to do to keep the paint from getting into the flexible hinge material. What I'm worried about is the paint soaking into the material and making it harder to flex, or worse yet, making it brittle so that it cracks and the surface departs the airframe...[X(]

Any ideas, or do I even need to worry about it?

Thanks guys!
