Painting "Reveal's"
Hi Guy's Getting ready to paint the "Reveal's". I did a test strip with the tape and had trouble getting it to go around a curve..I'am using the newer blue tape... Way back I used the old "Tan" tape,,,does it go around corner's better ?.Can't remember how I did it year's ago ? Do you mask it off at the edge or use the lip of the body ? I wounder how Ford did it ? Did they mask it off or use some kind of Stencil deal to block it off ? Thank's, Greg out West |

Re: Painting "Reveal's"
try fine line tape very thin, then use your blue tape on top of the fine line tape.

Re: Painting "Reveal's"
Ford supposedly used a stencil on some according to the P&R Manual however I am sure it was sloppy at best. The blue tape you are using is a plastic tape. I use 1/8th inch paper layout tape. The key IMO is to sand the edges down of almost all primer (bare metal showing is not an issue) is gone which helps define that area.

Re: Painting "Reveal's"
Go to your local auto paint store and get some 1/8" or 1/4" Fineline tape. It goes around corners easily and minimizes edge build-up. It's kinda pricey but it's worth it.
