I'm ok at painting bodies. So far the best 2 color paint job that I have done was with spray cans and a flame mask. One of these days I'll have pics to post to show.

I'm pretty good. Most of my bodeis are now 4-6 color rattle can paint jobs with masks and all.

Latley I've been coming with ideas to move away from the flames and into ghosting in lettering but latley I've not had the time/money to do much.

Has anyone had good luck with using liquid mask? If so, what did you do? I was talking with BigD and neither of us had anything good come out of trying to use this.

I have only ever painted 3 bodies for my Savage. All 3 were done with rattle cans. Was very tempted to get an airbrush but then it got cold and the whole RC thing was kinda put on the back burner.

I've used liquid mask before. its a pain to use. You have to put down many.. many layers of it then trim and peel it to the design you want. it takes at least 4 layers of mask before its thick enough to work with. Usually just using masking tape or even better the "cut your own Mask" sheets are much.. much better.
