Everythings liquid mask except for the lines in the panels. I got some pin striping type masking tape (made by faskolor I think) and cut off little pieces and pretty much started on ones corner, and worked my way across. Its hard to pic it up on the camera pics, but I also added some rust around the bolts and some of the corners and edges by blotting it with a fine paint brush. I also brushed on some transparent charcoal to give the sheet metal the old/scratched up look and also to seperate the colors a bit so everything didnt look so uniform. Thats really about it.
