DannyP Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I used Parma liquid mask before. Worked well but MS no longer sell it, not looked anywhere else tbh. You have to build it up in a few layers and cut your design out with a sharp hobby knife, pick a corner and peal. Building up a few layers makes it easier to peal the mask away.

DannyP Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I have a shell to do but don't think I want to spend all the time painting it up when I am just going to batter it! Sure there will be opinions on each one. With a little search I am sure you will come to a decision. I only used Parma and worked fine for me but I can't compare to others as it's all I have used liquid wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyP Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Yes. Practice some flicks on a piece of card or scrap lexan to get the feel for how much to load the brush and how hard to flick depending on the effect you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
