My first body
There are several places that bled under my mask but overall I am pretty happy with my first body. I didn't want a one color wonder, or felt like I could takle a complex paint job so I figured classic flames would be easy but better than a single color. I think next time I will try carbon fiber or the plastic bag method.

Looks good to me for a two color job.
Bleeding is always a problem, even after a dozen bodies.
If you use tape, push down the tape with a rounded wood skewer or similar tool.
I use this tool I bought in a paper store
To check for small dark paint residue in the soon to be white area, I hold white Kleenex paper against the Lexan plastic and remove the unwanted paint with a toothpick (dipped in 70% alcohol if necessary).
