dazzle paint woes......
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, July 6, 2003 3:08 PM
I'm thinking about getting Trumpy's Essex, and I really would like to finish her in a dazzle scheme. But how do I replicate the curved section of the camo? The straight lines should be easy, but what about that large curve on her port side? Any ideas?

Yes dazzle painting can be a problem. For the straight lines mask with THIN masking tape, I use Tamiya or Magic tape, and for the curved line I use frisket , an artists masking paper. As a precaution against paint bleed I always over paint with the base colour and then paint the colour I want. Thats rather badly put but if the base colour is white i repaint the white and then whatever the camo colour is.
