2 things:

1)Go to an auto paint supply house, and get some 1/8th" or even 1/16th in. detail tape as shown above. I used a vynil tape, but I actually think a "regular" tape might work better. More flexible, I imagine. Use this only for your paint line. Follow the pics for everything else.

2)Get yourself all the patients you can muster. It is painstaking work. This is not the kind of thing to rush through. Your results will directly reflect the level of detail you put into it.

Good luck.
