masking material on A4 printable paper

[Homerjhandley]

Hi, is there such a thing as Making tape or simialr on a4 printable paper?

So a design is made, printed on the paper side and then it can be cut out and put on the bodyshell to mask off areas?

i have searched but the only thing that seems to appear is printable stuff for decals.

Hi,

Yea you can buy a4 vinyl sheets(trickbits i think), I got my mine from a local model shop, i'm sure there will be loads available on the internet. :)

You can buy a vinyl plotter called a Craft Robo, design your own stencils on the computer in a vector style program like Illustrator or Corel Draw or Inskscape (completely Free !), then put some paint mask through the cutter and it will cut them for you so you have perfect symmetry and clever things like that.

However it's not always easy to place these perfectly each and every time so often easier to use liquid mask ( RCS is the ebst stuff ) and print your design out on normal paper, cut it out and then draw around it on the outside of the shell, then cut it out by hand on the inside.

I'm not entire sure that's what you meant but hopefully is of some help.

Alternatively you can get people to print stuff for you that you can put inside the shell and back with your own white or colour, or even cut masks for you, just go to your local sign shop.

i used B&Q blue tape on the window mask sheet backing, worked well, apart from the overspray, but as its mardave, wont last long!

i sell a4 masking sheets although they need adding to the site..

or you could mask up the shell using liquid mask, print your design on normal paper then tape that to the outside of the shell to use as a quide.

if you need custom paint masks making i can do those for you also.

just give me a shout, if i can help i will do.
