Is masking tape effecting for covering parts of a plastic model airplane when spray painting?

The blue painters tape is better for masking the model if you already have paint on it. When you pull off the painters tape it does not pull off the paint. Masking tape is great for masking on the unpainted plastic however do not leave it on for too long or it will leave a residue.Make sure the leading edge is down good with no gaps and the paint should not seep under it.




I forget what it is called, but the paint on masking stuff is much more effective in my opinion. It is much easier to apply to curved surfaces that you typically get on planes.





However masking tape is usually fine also, just takes longer to do properly.




kinda, you should go to walmart or any other store like that and buy sheets of vinyl the kind decals are made of, in the craft section. cut it into thin strips and use it like tape. it's like the peel and stick kind.


hoped it helped.




Yes, and sometimes the cheap kind of tape is better (less sticky) if you are concerned about pulling stuff off when you remove the tape. Get less sticky cheap tape at the dollar store.




I would get painters tape. It is blue. And should come off better than masking tape. Wal Mart has it.




yes it is pretty munch the same as painters tape




yes
