Hi Anthony,

Yes, 5 mins to apply two spray masks on each side of the canopy - that gives you a perfect canopy line and that swoosh behind the canopy. I tried taping something like that and yer right - you sit up all night, it never looks right and you end up pulling the tape off and starting over in the morning anyhow, never get it right and do the basic canopy line as a fall back...

There is a method and reason for this madness...

I want to help the average builder/painter to be able to push their paint schemes and finishes beyond what is typically done by the average kit builder. I have spent countless hours - developing techniques that go beyond the simple tape and 3 color paint jobs most builders fall back on.

What If you can do a high end paint job in about the same amount of time it takes to do a simple 3 color striped scheme ???

I am mostly reinventing in my shop the techniques that are being used by those high end ARF companies overseas. I am lucky as I have a background in old school and digital design and art. So all of this stuff is EASY and I am trying to make it FAST to do. The tool behind all this is a vinyl cutter and spray masks.

The cool thing is I can go back and recreate any paint job I designed without having to have the original plane as reference.

back at it....
