                        Painting stripes
                        Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, October 28, 2004 8:09 PM
                        What is the best way to paint stripes, such as invasion stripes on WWII aircraft? Is it best to mask the stripe area when painting the main color or just paint the stripes after the main color dries?

                        Thanks for your replies

                        No best way. I prefer to mask & paint the stripes as the last step, but I'm sure others might prefer to paint them first & then mask for the main colors. Both methods work.

                        Regards, Rick

                        Like Rick said, no best way. Only what works best for you.

                        I prefer to spray the lighter color first, then put a trip of tape down to mask where the light needs to stay. To me it's easier to spray black over white than white over black.
