How to Paint Gear Door Edge

[Grey Ghost 531]

Step 1 - paint the doors white

Step 2 - coat or two of Future

Step 3 - carefully but not psychotically so, paint the edges red with enamel

Step 4 - let dry for an hour

Step 5 - Clean any boo boos with a Tamiya pointy Q-tip damp but not wet with thinner. The enamel is dry enough to not smear but not so cured it won't come off easily, the Future protects the white.

 

You're always cleaning up against an edge so it's not hard. Plus, with a steady hand and a good brush, there's not much to clean up.

I find the best way is red paint with a steady hand holding a #00 brush...It really is that simple.... BTW paint the white in enamel and the red in Acrylic this way you can go back and clean up any areas that you wish...
