That looks vaguely familiar...

That's a really cool photo Bruce. I'm going to imagine them demanding a shrubbery from now on.

Sometimes I just want to give up while building and I hit that point today.
This is the Montex mask canopy masks, they started lifting before I even had them all down. I kept pressing them back down as I sprayed the inside color and the primer coat over that. I just know they are going to come out like crap.

Can you peel them ofF, trace them on some Frog tape?
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Sorry to hear about the Montex masks. I no longer use those black vinyl masks unless they are on a totally flat surface. Like Lyle mentioned, I've used them as templates to cut masks from better material. Trying to deal with lifting masks while spraying is a no-win situation and you'll probably not like the results. You can always wipe it off and do it again.

Sorry to read the news. It’s tough when your momentum is broken by an unexpected issue. You will prevail! What Lyle and John wrote makes sense. Take your time. Remember the good times. Keep positive. Keep going too!

Man that sucks. Masking canopies is the worst.
