Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

The flag turned out nice. It's always frustrating to get a tip after the fact. But it's too good of a tip to not pass along. The way to avoid the seepage that you got under the vinyl stars is possible two ways. One by spraying the blue on and typically the spray would not force itself under the edges of the vinyl which would basically be a spray "shadow". When brushing the paint on, the one I learned from painters is that you paint the edges of the tape line (in this case vinyl stars) with the base color first so that what seeps under the vinyl is the white. Let that dry and your edges are sealed so that you can paint the blue over top. And no blue will seep under because the white already did the seeping. Make sense? Regardless, you did a nice job on it. Lots of good detail in the new carport.
