Default One quick question


I am a newbie to painting and haven't painted at all yet.

I plan to do a 2 colour paint job.

after you paint the first colour and it dries do you need to put masking tape over before i paint the second colour?

thanks Ollie

Nope, thats the beauty of lexan you use your first colors you spray as the mask in a way


Just be sure to spray your darker colors first. Light colors wont show through dark colors but if you sray a light color then a dark one behind it it will show up. Also its a good idea to back a light color with white when in doubt and you think another color might show through it.

hmmm, the way yur wording the question it sounds yur painting the outside. DON"T mask off the area that is the lighter colour. Paint on the darker color then peel off the mask and spray the lighter colour. Maybe pick up a magazine or read more on the internet, just making sure yur heading in the right direction
