• Masking chrome paint question...
  • Some of the real fine masking tape might work against the edge but you still have to be sure it is firmly set in place. *NM*
    • Thanks. I've had good luck with Tamiya tape, and I'll try experimenting on a scrap body. *NM*
  • After taping, basecoat with clear Future or brush a layer of clear nail polish - any bleed will be clear
    • Great advice! Even when masking for a 2-tone paint job, clear where the tape meets the colour parting lines. *NM*
      • Beware, chrome magnifies ANY surface imperfections. Conversely, a gloss coat on a prepped molding could be the chef's kiss... *NM*
