 Here another row of masking paper is being added. |  Using green crepe 3M 1/4-inch masking tape requires more pressure to ensure a good seal to prevent "creep." |  Special care should be taken to not allow the edge of any masking tape to come into contact with dirt, debris. It will show later in the paint job. |
 Here, all of the positive area has been cut out and we are ready to squirt some flames with paint. |  The paint should be sprayed on evenly according to the manufacturer's directions. |  As soon as the area is evenly covered it's time to quit, or the flames will have too high an "edge." |
 Notice fogging-in accent colors is done by starting on the masked area and working outward. |  My preference is to pull the larger masked areas first... |  ... And then progress to pulling hte more intricate areas. |
 I think all custom painters prefer to pull the design edges last to ensure a screwup doesn't happen (lifting the fresh paint). |  A sure nightmare is if the painter before you didn't sand the base color properly, and it lifts with the masking tape. |  I pulled 1/8-inch Blue Fine Line to look like the flames were striped. |
 What I love about Auto Air Colors is that I can clean my gun with a garden hose. My neighbors like it because it's the only time my lawn gets watered. | | |
