every body has there way of painting, heres mine, buy a roll of 1/4" 3M automotive tape, then a roll of 3/4" 3M tape to finish off the masking, paint the revels before the body, you dont need to mask them off right now, let the paint go on an inch or so below the revel your painting, after it dries then mask off the revel using the 1/4" tape to go around the bends, then use the 3/4" tape on the 1/4" tape to finish masking off the revel, you can even use plastic electric tape to mask with, it bends easily,if you use the masking tape with all the wrinkles in it the paint will bleed under the wrinkles, and leave a very messy looking line, if you do use the wrinked tape just make sure you really smooth down the edges, sand off all paint that got on the body from painting the revels and paint the body, doing it this way you will only have one thin paint line to finish off, i finish my revels right where the bend blends into the body i use this method to paint the body lines and revels
