Tamiya Honda Monkey Part 3

Decided not to follow the instruction manual fuel tank color but to go with a "FORD GT" stripe look. A yellow tank with 3 black and 2 thin white stripes. I start primer the tank with Mr.Surfacer 1000 and let it dry for a day.

Next step, I spray the whole tank using White and let it dry for about 3 hours. Masked the stripe area and prepare the tank for the Yellow.

After 2 layers of Yellow, I let it dry for about 2 hour and carefully peel off the masking tape to reveal the white stripe. Next I cut 2 thin strips (1mm) of masking tape which will run parallel in the centre of the white stripe. After this is done I masked the whole tank, exposing only the white stripe which we going to spray it in Black.

Three swift strokes is all it takes. Be careful not to over spray the Black. I let it dry for about 3 hour in room temperature. No fanning cos you don't want tiny dust stuck to it.

Finally, I peel off the masking. Revealing the "FORD GT" stripes!

And a final spray of gloss coating over it. ^.^
