Thanks, Mark! It was tough peeling those off the backing, really.

Better having pre-made masks than trying to do it manually! Keep an eye on those black vinyl masks on curved surfaces. I've found that they are prone to lifting off the surface at the most inopportune time like in the middle of spraying.

I have heard that before, now that you have mentioned it. The ones for the top of the windscreen have some serious curve. We shall see!

With vinal masks you want to spray them as soon as possible they will start lifting almost as fast as you put them down.

Okay, I’ll keep that in mind. That could work out in the timing,

You’re gonna need another nap when you do the torrent, Lyle. What fun that’ll be for you. 
Nice job on the the main canopy masking. I’m surprised you didn’t use Yellow Frog tape.

I ‘spect that several naps will b.e forthcoming! I only have 2 1/2 jars of the dark sea blue.
There is a piec3 of Frog tape on things. These masks seemed. A tad thinner than I remember. There is always the turret!
