I just bought some new bodies from sheldon hobbies. they were one sale for like 7.99 and i have enough bodies but i love to paint them and try different stuff i havent done anythign i think is impressive but here is my question.

The bodies didnt come with any window masks. now in the past i usually just used some masking tape and cut it with a blade. i really didnt care how it came out. now i want to do it nice. im look to not spend alot. i dont want to by liquid mask or those masking sheets.

Just wondering what everyone does.

Thanks

if it were me i would just go ahead and buy the liduid mask. It is worth it and u can do some really cool body designs with it.

You can buy vinyl mask. It is stick on vinyl like what is used for window stickers on cars. Most sign writers will carry it. Its very cheap and easy to use. Can be reused to a certain extent.

20 bucks will get you about 10-15 bodys

or you can get a smaller size ones for 10 or cheaper,

3 coats brushed or sprayed on and your good to go.
