Some tips for using decal replacement masks.
Spray at very low pressure close in from directly above. Build up colour slowly and avoid flooding, ideally you want the paint almost dry when it hits the model. This will minimise touching up.
When removing masking elements place them carefully on the backing paper. You will often need to put them back on the model ready for the next colour. Then you may need to use some elements for touch ups as well
Make sure the paint is fully dry and cured before remasking for the next colour. Take your time and don’t hurry.
Use a cocktail stick to remove elements carefully. if possible. You might have to use a knife, if so be very careful not to scratch paint.
Always finish off with a polishing stick when fully dry and cured. Then if using MRP reactivate the paint with a light mist coat of MLT to improve the finish and look before
decals. With MRP you can decal direct onto the paint, no need for gloss varnish. Then do a gloss varnish to seal the
decals before weathering washes.
