I know R/C Lidz recommends that in his write up HERE
...but even with chrome I cut the entire design out no matter what, doing chrome first if needs be. Just try to not lay the paint down so much that it bleeds.

It's not a "right" way...I just prefer cutting the whole thing out first.

Look at the drawing below...That's generally how I do it. Hope that helps.

It helps a lot
thanks for your detailled answer

This one was for me. I raced for the first time in well over 15 years...Couldn't get it right racing; bashing walls and breaking the servo. Stepped on some poor dudes car when corner marshaling after I got another car out of a corner. I think I'll stick to painting.

All other orders are on rush. Sorry for all delays.

I started out with using a paint brush with white for the "glossy" points and worked from there. I would do it better next time and make them totally the same.
