vinyl for masking shell?

[carlukemini]

Hi All,

Wanting to paint some basic two or three colour designs on lexan shells. I've seen folks using vinyl to make masks up, but I wondered what people were using and where they got it from. I have some vinyl at work for sign making, which I have made window masks from in the past, but when peeling it left a fair bit of residue.

Not aiming for anything top ambitious, just maybe a basic flame design for example.

Thanks for any info,
Craig

all ways used vinyl and masking tape in the past to varied results then tried liquid mask and found it much better dont get any bleeding like you can with tape so thats all i use now :thumbsup:

Cheepo vinyl and use a hair dryer to heat it when removing, no residue

Best stuff iv found was in poundland quid for a 5 meter roll

Brilliant guys, thanks for all the tips!

Will have a look in Poundland later, and will try the hairdryer method with the stuff from work on a scrap piece of lexan later.

Cheers
