Well, about a month ago I painted the car with the TruColor paint for Santa Fe red in the late 1940's. Now I have to paint the roof black representing a tar finish over metal. First, I have to mask the car. Sides are relatively easy.
My Tamiya tape closely follows the overhang of the roof panels
Ends are a bit of a problem, especially where the brake is. Also, I have to be careful about those delicate ladders I mentioned back in the January posting.
The tight trimming is now done.
Next, I cut down a paper towel and using broader Tamiya tape, tape that onto the base tape.
First the sides and then I have to seal off the ends.
We are getting closer to the painting part which is the quickest.
Now we have sprayed the roof and will take off the tape before anything sets up.
We got a nice even coat.
Side looks good
Tape is all off and it did its job. No apparent damage to the brake platform or wheel. The car needs a day to dry and then we can get on to lettering. After the lettering and all handling is almost done, I will put the Morton Roof Walk on. The paint is very dark so I will add some lightening weathering to highlight some details.
