Marking Simple Door/Hood rear trunk line.

[danielh 0]

Just want to share how to mark simple door and trunk line using black poster colour. This poster colour available at all local stationary shops or departmental store and cheap . But careful not to buy water colour because it's watery. Note: Not applicable to acrylic base paint or thinner base paint.

Step 1.
Choose your favourite car or just finished sprayed car. Make sure the coated are not too heavy until the groove cannot be seen.


Step 2.
Use size 0 or 1 brush to paint all over the groove/ door line of the car. Don't worry if it's getting dirty because it can be clean later.


Step 3.
Repeat to the other side. After finished painting works, leave it to dry about 15 minutes.


Step 4.
After the marking dried up, use cotton bud or clean cloth to wipe the surface or painted area.If the surface line is vertically, wipe it horizontally. You will noticed that the colour trap inside the groove line will remain intact as the surface are thoroughly clean now.


Step 5.
Now you get clean and natural straight door line.

yes, you can use but it depends on the width of the groove line. If it is too narrow, your gundam pen (pen tip) wouldn't be able slot into the line to mark it.

you mean it oil base? Just use the water base poster colour is good enough.When you mix it , make sure it's not too thick and not too watery.

The cotton bud needs to be dipped in water/thinner?

No need water,keep it dry and wipe it on the spot. If the poster colour is too thick, apply a drop of tiny water until the cotton bud become a little bit moist thus enable to wash away the dry poster colour on the surface. After that use clean cloth to wipe it till clean.
Notes: Do not use thinner.. it will leaves permanent ugly marks on the surface and your car will be sent to workshop for respraying...he!he!
