Ok I use liquid mask a proline Chevy c10 body fr the stampede A 1" paintbrush and a xacto hobby knife (not pictured) and duratrax gunmetal grey and blue flash and a white backing spray(not pictured)

I painted the whole inside of the body with the liquid mask 3 or 4 even coats. Let each coat completely dry before you recoat

after u choose a design. I chose the classic Chevy look 2 blue panels and a blue roof with a gun metal grey base you run your xacto knife on the inside of the dry liquid mask to score it and peel the first layer off. As you can see the roof is a bit hazy from the liquid mask still on it. I will paint the gun metal grey first

Here is the video after the gunmetal grey was done and dried me peeling the liquid mask off the side panels so I can spray the blue flash!
 
Nice work!

I have been eyeing up that same body due to a c10 we used to raise hell in as kids. I was even going to include the flames we painted on it one rainy day with some piss yellow exterior latex that happened to be sitting around, lol. Side note, don't take a truck with wet paint out in the rain.

Anyway, your cut lines between the two colors look fantastic. Did you freehand them that good or did you follow a body line with your knife?

Thnx Dustin ..... I free handed them. The bottom of the blue panel was easy had a hard solid body line. On the top of the blue panel how ever was harder with where I wanted the line to fall they had a rounded body line so trying to keep it even was tough! Tho the concept was pretty simple paint job.....
