Hi Andy, I have just spent a pleasant hour or so looking back through the full back catalogue of all the shells you've done and I have a question about how you get the vinyl masks onto the shell:-
Do you do it in sections or all in one piece? I note that many of the shells seem to have beautiful designs that flow from front to back / side to side, so if they are sectional I can't see any obvious points of join. Or do you add various design points and then liquid mask over and "join it all together" . Or is it a case of "whatever suits the shell"? I have a simple vinyl cutter which I've made some masks on, but seem to struggle where I have a full design to affix to the shell. Any tips?  Ps - the shells are stunning

Cheers for the kind comments re the shells.
Workflow has changed over the course of the thread. These days - I mainly use the computer cut vinyl masks - applied onto the blank shell, then liquid mask over the top. Best of both worlds then as I get the benefits of both. Takes a bit of time and planning and careful cutting around / over the masks etc - but using both - anything can be done (within reason!) I also sometimes cut masks and apply them to the outside of the shell and then just liquid mask the entire inside and use the masks as a guide - as opposed to drawing on the outside of the shell. Then cut it all by hand.

Hi Mate.
Yes Bambi will spray liquid mask - no problem. If you were doing a lot - I would buy a Bambi with a bigger air resevoir as otherwise the pump will be running a lot and it could get hot! I bought a cheap car spray gun and use that for the liquid mask. Thin it a touch and it's good to go. Spraying the mask is MILES better than painting it on - it goes on like glass, you can hardly see it's there  Bambi is ace - when mine dies (if it dies) I will buy another. Also - get a good airbrush - I bought one from Jon at RCS - was about £100, and is miles better than all the cheap ones I have had.

Cool thanks for the reply i will have to up grade to one soon . I have a few nice air brushes a harder and steenback evo very nice but no were need as nice as my iwata eclipse and a custom micron .I think for shells the eclipse is hard to beat the micron is very very nice but to good for body shells really the eclipse does it all very well. Thanks for you reply keep up the stunning work .
