A quick question from way back in the thread..
In the picture below, you filled with white and then applied a water slide. Did you cut the frisket around the inside of the ragged black outline? Did you repaint it? If you repainted it, how did you do that?

It looks really clean, and I have some similar challenges to figure out I have a LOT of key lines to deal with and a lot of repainting to do and trying to determine the best way to handle that. Thanks for all of the great info!

Quoted from ktownhero:

My first touch up section ever, this is going to be amazing when done! Look how badly yellowed the original white was...
Thanks vid for this guide, learning to use frisket and an airbrush was really game changing .

One suggestion that I have, get a scalpel and blades from amazon. Its a lot cheaper than an exacto and you will be more likely to switch blades more often because of it. I think I got about 100 blades for less than $7.00. But watch a video of how to put the blades on - its easy but not obvious, and you will cut yourself doing it wrong.
