There’s this stuff called “Parafilm-M” that works a charm for what you’re doing. It’s meant to be stretched. After you stretch it, it makes it a very thin material, much thinner than any masking tape. It clings very tightly around compound curves and fine crevices. I’ve been using it for years for masking canopies on aircraft models. Give it a go. I think you’ll agree it works much better and easier than masking tape. Happy modeling!

Thanks for sharing! I just taped mine up the hard way and found this channel! Really good tips, I've been doing things wrong since I was a kid!

You could use clingfilm to wrap the bonnet and save your expensive masking tap. Nice video 👍🏻

Great video! Something I would like to add is for people that sometimes have bleed through with masking where it will actually go under the masking tape! If you use some sort of clearcoat first like a nice thin tamiya flat clear, it seals the tape pretty good and prevents bleed through! Great for doing two tone colours as well!

Nice tutorial. I just didn't get something : you removed the tape once the paint was dry or before it was dry?

This is a great idea for the trim if you're building a Show model.. And your definitely looks great. But I don't have a ton of tape or a Air Brush.. So I just use a Black Sharpie and it comes out pretty good.

Hi there, very nice video. I have a question. I did the same that you, but when I took off the masking tape (both types: regular and making for curves) the marks of the masking tape were marked on my paint job. Do you know why it happened..? Thanks for your answer.

I sometimes use Sharpies, sometimes chrome pens.

[wags]

I use Sharpies. Fine and extra fine, no need to mask if you're steady enough and you can clear over it if wanted

Just found you - subd! great channel and content. Thank you for sharing.

I started with bare metal foil, but have since gone to sharpies and Molotow chrome pen. I've also used craft paint pens from Michaels.

Another trick is using a flexible tape along the trim underneath the masking tape to have aligned guidance for the blade. And please always cut ones.
