You know what they Say Kenny "The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft agley" Dang-it yes I'll bet the red will be hard to cover .... But I'll get it I got the old AB working again, I think I need a regulator though ... :bang head

Meh, the red will cover just fine. Just make sure to toss a thin coat of primer down before the white. ;)

That's what I was Planning ... I have white primer ... I just need to tape her up some. I painted my floats for the Tiger moth & used that frog tape stuff, I did have a little bleed though ... so I might need another tape to use. :bang head

Try burnishing the tape down real good Gerry. That's what I've been doin'. :good:

Thanks Ed, I got my AB working very good, now been painting some, purty cool here though :good:

Seal the tape with either a light coat of the body color or some clear, that will stop any bleed. I highly recommend Tamiya masking tape and Tamiya white spray primer. Rock on. :ro:

Well we've had a bit of a break through ... red broke through the white primer ... :bang head

I taped her all off, sprayed white primer on the top noticed some crinkling paint, so after the reaction all had to be scrapped off. :facepalm

I re-sprayed the top with primer again, then lower driver side roof more trouble so I had to fix that.

Thanks James, I think I saved the top ... :woohoo: must have been a combo of Skull white, Dollar General Red, Tamiya Red & Skull white again ... i still think i's bleeding trough a little bit. :hmmm :idonno :good:

I have found the best way to prevent red bleeding through the white is to mist on a couple of coats of light grey over the red. Just enough to cover, then do the white. No bleed through.

Thanks James, after scrapping the top you wouldn't think there was that much red left. :hmmm :idonno (y)

One thing I used to do when I painted my dad's rentals was, shoot a Clear coat over red spots (&even black ones) to keep it from bleeding thru & then hit it with some KILZ primer. I used some stuff artists use when doing pencil sketches & such.

It is a bit of a Unusual problem as the bleed through is from the plastic itself, I'm gonna go and try the grey that James suggested, as she's pinkish orange this morning. :ro: :dude
