Step 8Window graphics

Window graphics
We plan to use decals for most of the graphics, but we have painted the windows. (In the past we have painted all of the graphics, but certain small details will be easier to achieve with a decal).

We masked off the car, using blue painters' tape and plastic.

Draw the windows on and then cut them out with a razor-knife. Carefully peal out the windows, and press the tape around the edges.

Paint several light layer, and let the paint dry. Carefully remove the tape.

Note: Make sure to give the base coat enough time to cure be for masking. I suggest waiting at least 24 hours. Also, don't leave the tape on too long. Even though it should be able to stay on up to a week without problems, the shorter the time it is on the less likely it will leave residue.
