I'm a graphic designer at a construction company, but sometimes the people say they're going to give me stuff that day, but I don't actually get it until 2 days later.

As I know the warm water can help as well.Thanks for info Mag... she looks really very nice.I can't wait the final effect of your work.

Some more shots of Snuffy, still have to spray the underside. Glued and puttied the wheels together. I am quite concerned with how my tape ripping will go. The silver was enamel and the gloss black is lacquer, and Alclad states their paint bites into the surface, i'm hoping the gloss black didnt eat into the silver to form one layer where chipping will be impossible

Mag, I can tell you from experience that your paint chipping WILL NOT work, as the silver is gone. I didn't realize the black was Alclad. When I painted my Frank with Alclad, I had to wipe some off, and the primer I put on (2 days prior, so plenty of drying time) came with it, so I'm pretty sure it'll be gone.

That sucks! I only did it because testors gloss cote looks like crap, this actually looks like glossy black, and it doesnt get patchy like normal black. I need to know now, brb getting some tape and hitting it early!

Maglar · 07-02-2009, 11:14 PM

Ok, using my low tack tamiya yellow tape I was able to achieve this after many rip and pulls!

The silver is saved, but I will have to use this tape all over because I think anything stronger and it will really rip all of it off.

Nice!

Catch22 · 07-02-2009, 11:51 PM

Looks good Mag, and glad to see I was wrong!

Maglar · 07-02-2009, 11:53 PM

Haha, I thought it was gone.. it might still be there because the silver is enamel, little bit tougher then acrylic. Not sure, but whatever works!
