Cut 6" x 9" Scotchbrite pad into small squares.<img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Use edges of Scotchbrite pad to scuff paint<img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Scuffed factory finish gives our paint "bite"<img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9p.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Oops!<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/baffled.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":baffled:" title="Baffled    :baffled:" data-shortname=":baffled:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/baffled.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":baffled:" title="Baffled    :baffled:" data-shortname=":baffled:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/baffled.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":baffled:" title="Baffled    :baffled:" data-shortname=":baffled:" />We must patch a section of ripped Transferite paper<img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9q.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Patch any rips in Transferite paper with Scotch 233+ masking tape.Use your Tack Cloth to clean the surface before applying primer.<img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9s.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I prefer Plastikote brand Spot / Filler primer.After 60 mins dry time, wipe off overspray dust with Tack Cloth<img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9t.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Apply your color coat.I chose Rustoelum's Metallic Blue<img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9u.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />15 mins after final coat, peel off Transferite paper <img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9v.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Slowly peel back fine-line tape as shownThis way you won't lift any edges of the paint. <img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9w.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Not exactly a clean edge. Our pencil sketch is revealed again.I'm gonna show you how to fix these.  <img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9x.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Use 3M Perfect It II rubbing compound #39002 toremove pencil sketch and paint overspray.(note: 3M machine polish was substituted for rubbing compound during photos)Now we're ready to outline our flames. This will cover upjagged edges and give colors visual flare.<img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9xxxx.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A fine point oil based pen will suffice.I recommend "Painty" brand paint pens by Zig.They're usually sold in this multi pak. <img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9xx2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Paint pens will bleed if you apply too much pressure.Get in habit of checking flow consistancy on paper first beforepainting your case.  <img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9xx4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Outline small sections at a time.<img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9xx5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Oops,my paint pen over bled here.<img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9xx6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Fix mishaps with "Painter's Pal" by Goo Gone<img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9xx8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Its a good idea to add second coat of green.<img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9xx7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Our green outline really brings out the blue.<img src="http://www.mnpctech.com/Flame9z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Salakala yanna mathaka karanna epa</blockquote>
