Hey all,

Been playing with different painting techniques and today I got the bright idea to use auto pinstriping to run my window lines. Very good stuff so far.
What do you all use? Paint markers?

I use a fine or super fine marker for the lines and paint on ABS.

I use Tamiya paint, a "steady" hand and masking tape if when needed.
I don't fancy using pin striping tape as they tend to lift after a while.

But, I detail my models for the shelf, not for running, which I'm sure would make a difference.

Anything repairable slash re apply-able is golden in my books...especially when you flex your shell in half on a hit.

Some people cut through the protection film at the outside on the window lines and use a black spray can.
For matte black lines you can use LRP paint. For more glossy effect it is Tamiya PS.

I cut vinyl strips that i apply around the window lines and paint them by hand.
