Pete. How about tape over the paint? How long do you wait to do a secondary color and have you had any distortion on the paint under the tape? I had that on one of my models.

I have painted two cars with Tamiya paint, and found the paint to be fragile or brittle. It chips off real easily. Both of these were over primer, and one was Tamiya primer for sure. I just painted a car last night, over the light Tamiya primer, and am afraid to tape over this for another color, and...

Congratulations on finishing before the end of the year! The model turned out great and thanks for sharing.

I’ll take a look if I have something redundant
