A guy emailed me the other day about how I paint my V-2 rockets without the paint bleeding through the masking tape. This model is black and white, so ANY bleed through of the black onto the white looks horrible. Plus the surface is not mirror smooth.
I mask off the model and spray a few generous coats of clear lacquer on the masking line. This will seal the tape so the color coat cant bleed through. I always do this when I need a nice fine line and never rely on tape alone.
I like the "Deft" brand spray lacquer available in most hardware stores. It comes in satin, semi gloss and gloss and comes with a nice fan spray pattern tip. It will not attack enamels, but just be sure the first few coats are light mists. Obviously you can also use Testors and like clear coats too.
