truggy window masks - pwnzor - 10-24-2007
I got a new body, and no window masks came with it, and the decal sheet for the body is not available in retail yet :/
Can someone make me some cool masks for my windows on a truggy? I can pay you if need be
peace Trevor

im not going to attempt it, I want them to look right

it easy man, just put a few pieces of tape over the windoes on the inside, cut lightly around the window frame, there is lines on the body that knife will follow, just use a new blade and DO NOT PRESS.

Make a template with a piece of paper, trim with scissors until it's perfect, then transfer that onto vinyl, cut that out carefully with scissors and transfer it into the shell. Easy.

lol.....I am.......dude, I found this stuff called frisket film, it worked perfect for the windows. Im gonna paint it in a few minutes, Ill be sure to post a pic of my award winning design

frisket film is a low tack, more rigid version of plastic art mask, best suited for flat surfaces. Vinyl can follow a complex curve easier.
Please post the results and tell us how it went!
