So I have painted my own bodies in the past back when I had my T3 and RS4 Pro. I was mainly a rattle can junkie and never had anything "fancy."

So what in the world of RC painting has changed?
Can I still get away with rattle canning simple stuff?

The big question:
What is everyone using now a days to mask off designs so that you get that nice crisp clean paint line?

What other tips and tricks are out there?

Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

For spray cans you can use most any masking material, but you need to be careful if you use liquid masking, as the solvents in spray cans will heal-over the cut lines in LM if you spray too much on.

I would lean toward vinyl, or painters tape when using spray cans. Either needs good burnishing to avoid bleeds, and keep the first pass or two light, to seal the edges.
