Sometimes you need to mask of areas differently if you don’t manage by “just” applying strips of masking tape around the area you want to have masked. Here is a different approach, you apply the stripes all over the area and then use a scalpel (a sharp one so be careful!) to cut out the area you want to paint. Here the area are the 2 rear air scoops in the rear area of the Porsche.

After the masking and first painting session last weekend this is how the Porsche body currently looks (please not the spoiler is not glued in position yet).

You can see that I didn’t mask too well, since at the body panel lines there are some red markings where they do not belong … I will be able though to remove them by lightly scraping over them with a scalpel. And the body will get some white colour as well. For that I will mask off the read and other painted areas.
