Yeah, liquid mask only works in thick layers. If it's too thin it's a pain to peel, as you know now.
Do you spray or brush the LMF?? Either way, use 3 thick coats and you should be fine.

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, I have practiced on lexan sheets and paper before, as this is my true passion as I said. Actually designs like this are not hard, it's all about the masking. For me the real challenge is on paper, to paint, say, an apple for example, to have it look as if it were a picture.
I always appreciated art, but somehow got distracted from it in the last couple of years. Now it seems as if RC has lead me back to my real "passion". I can hardly put the pen down these days.
As for airbrushing, I keep practicing my freehand skills. I would not say I'm a talent or anything like that, as I realy can't compare to the pros, but I love to paint, and I keep on improving. I don't show my stuff around much, but whenever someone comes over and has a look on my work, they want me to paint their real car, mobile phone or whatever. I take this as a good sign.

I have been not bad with rattle cans, on walls and stuff, and now the airbrush opens up new dimensions for me. I just love it.

I keep thinking about trying to sell some body shells and stuff, but I want to build up my gallery before I go public.

Thank you
Daf
