Default Any Tip For Using Bob Divleys?

I had my LHS order me a bottle of this stuff. Do you guys had any do's, dont's, tips or tricks before I start in on my body? I don't have an air brush or even an air compressor so I'll have to brush it on. Also I have pin striping that I was going to use for masking striaght lines, borders and accents. Do I lay the pin striping down and then brush the Dilvey's over it? I'm also really curious what kinds of brushes work best to apply this stuff.

I'm fairly new at painting bodies, but I love liquid mask. I just picked up a 1/2" or so width brush at my LHS to put it on with. Just grab anything that can brush it on, you're not worried about it looking good like a paint job so brush type won't matter much, imo. It is much easier to work with if you put it on thick (at least 2 thick coats). The thinner it is, the harder it is to get off -- it comes apart in smaller pieces and makes a mess.

Can you apply liquid masking overtop dry lexan based paint?? Or will it peel off the paint with it??

I second that.. I put from 5-10 coats on..
Thin coats. Like I brush it on. Let it dry.. brush on some more.. let it dry.. and keep repeating... I just do that for one day. To get a good thick coat. Like said before, the thinner it is.. the more pain of a butt it is! you can pin stripe and then brush Bob Dively's on afterward. No problem. I find with masking tape, you cut the design on a cd cover.. then stick it on.. like your own sticker.
