Hi Guys, I am about to paint my first body (1970 Hemi Cuda)!! I need some advice on a few things. Any help would be great.
1, Is it better to trim body before/after painting?
2, I am using a pre made flame mask I bought, when I remove the mask will I have to clean the plastic under the mask again? or can I paint without cleaning?
3, will I need to use a knife/blade to cut round the edges of the mask before pulling the mask off the body after painting?
4, on the hemi cuda body you have to bend the plastic round (once body is trimmed) at the back to complete the trunk, Will I have to do this before painting or after? because I am guessing if I bend the plastic after painting the paint would crack and flake off??
Sorry for all the questions, I don't want to mess the body up...
Thanks in advance for any help provided...I will put some photos up when the body is done....:resp:
