It's amazing what a difference that little extra detail of red makes.. Blends much better for a more oem look.

thanks for the pics.

You're welcome guys. I used vinyl masking tape (not paper) since it curves waaay better and won't bleed paint underneath. You DEFINITELY don't want the paint to bleed..

I used Testor's Candy Apple Red Spray Paint available in the Model Section of your Local Hobby Shop. I'm sure there are other sources.

I sprayed two light and "even" coats. Any more and it will get too dark

That can is good for easily 5 pairs of tails. Maybe locals can do a Group Buy to share one can


Have Fun

Any automotive Paint and Body Shop Supply Store.

Look up key words like Dupont or PPG for starters.

You'll find this tape is great for all other types of masking needs. Just ask Chip Foose.
