Default Liquid Mask

Hey everybody,

I was planning on spray painting my case. I've seen some tutorials for masking, but I haven't seen anything with liquid masking. Would it work with steel or aluminium side panels?

Thanks

Just do it in a well ventilated room / outside and wear some sorta mask if you're not doing it in a well ventilated room.

my guess is that the liquid mask would easily work on metals as well as plastic. the thing you'll have to remember is that since you'd be layering from the base color to the top color (instead of the reverse order as shown in the RC car shell painting guide) you'll have to re-mask the whole panel for each new color.
