Hi Guys,
I'm new to airbrushing and wondering if anyone can recommend good masking material or friskets? Is there a happy medium between quality a price in a product?
Looking forward to your responses,

Any low tack frisket film is going to work fine. It's not complicated stuff. If you have a local shop just buy the biggest roll they have, you'll go through it if you're doing playfield touchups.
Amazon has different size frisket rolls as well.

Personally I use Bob Dively's liquid mask. It's easier to work with in tight places, and odd shapes, plus it's easier to cut. You can spray it on if you want to mask an entire cabinet or playfield. Or for small touch up I mask off the area to be painted and fill in with liquid mask. You waste less that way. Or you can brush it on and it cleans up with water.
Don't buy more then you can use in a couple months though. It will go bad.
