This is very helpful. And with improved Chrome/Aluminum paints being developed and marketed, the same process will result in better brightwork painting. I think you overlooked an important tip. If you are clear coating and polishing before masking and painting, try this - after masking and trimming is complete, spray a light coat of the same clear coat and let it dry completely. Then, paint the trim black. That quick clear coat will seal the tape and prevent the black from saturating the tape or creeping under. Any seepage will be clear.

[@JHHobby]

ahh you have a point, great tip! thanks for sharing =)

[@stevedempsey]

This was a great tutorial! I always dreaded doing the window trim as I would inevitably mess it up. I followed your method with fantastic results! Looking forward to my next build now. Thanks!!

[@JHHobby]

Glad to hear that! Happy that i can help😁 thanks alot!

I have seen many get this wrong, your results speak for themselves. Excellent work

[@kabreigny]

I'm glad I ran across your tutorial. Thanks for explaining and showing the steps you took to achieve such a great look and finish. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. Again, thank you for sharing your techniques.

[@JHHobby]

Nice! Im so happy i can help🤗🤗🙏

[@johnchandrav.1823]

Your technique has inspired me to give it a go...on an 1:24 Scale Car. I have never done window-trims before... thank you!

[@JHHobby]

Thanks!😁😁

[@Morgorn1]

I'm so glad I stumbled across this video. I have some models of cars stored away, that I painted about three years ago, so the paint is well cured and now I know what to do about the trim. I think it is important to use the right kind of tape to avoid damaging the delicate finishes.

[@JHHobby]

haha true, you need a proper masking tape and fine spray..some spray cans shoot thick paints and its hard to get a nice result, if you have airbrush that is the best! =)

[@andrewcollins6525]

Beautiful work. I’m really struggling with this atm. Made a real mess with my truck I’m painting, lots of bleed through because I didn’t mask correctly and sprayed to heavily. I hope to learn a lot from your videos and improve my skills

[@ridelegend8997]

I usually like to paint window trim freehand but I might want to try it out with an airbrush one day. Great tutorial!

[@JHHobby]

hey! i use to do by hand too haha..but my hand is shaky and its hard to get a perfect brush, so airbrush still better for me haha

[@mdd47]

You make this look so easy....I am struggling with the Tamiya Supra kit big time. I'm going to give this a shot.

[@JHHobby]

Haha take your time and always remember to spray it light, that's the most important part😁

[@Wild-Dad]

That’s a neat technique - very nice finish. Yes it’s harder to do with a spray can or hand painting. The brush stokes build up more than spray painting - by spray can or air brush!

[@sohchx]

This is a risky method but it works. If cut to deep you risk the chance of pulling up the clear coat along with the tape. This happened to me a few years back and I decided to use another method. I now trace the trim as a template and cut out my own templates which completely eliminates use of a blade .

[@JHHobby]

ahh i see..what method you use? =D yeah normally i dont cut the line too strong, just enough to cut the tape

[@TheModelRoom]

I've always dreaded this part of a build but I recently bought an airbrush and can't wait to try it out, I think it will be a game changer! Thanks for a nice, helpful video :)

[@Sundaydish1]

How did you get on with your airbrush? I am on my 3rd airbrush now lol. I wish I knew now what I didn't know when I first bought one. And just how many rattle cans have you gone through? 🤣

[@TheModelRoom]

@@Sundaydish1 Oh I'm loving the airbrush! So much control of where you are applying paint and how much of it. Just need more practise with it and maybe a second one with a larger needle size for painting the body of a car.

[@Sundaydish1]

@@TheModelRoom I found that a .5mm needle and nozzle are best. With a dual action airbrush you can do anything with that size. Anything lower is really for fine detail work. And 15 to 20 psi. Happy airbrushing

[@robertomiranda3389]

Hi there, very nice video, it is very illustrative. I am a beginner in scale modeling and I have a question. I masked my model with two types of masking tapes: regular and making for curves. After painting the window trims, the marks of the masking tape were marked all over my paint job. Do you know why it happened..? I have to say that the model were clear coated and polished before I masked it for painting window trims. Thanks for your help.

[@KarlScaleModeling]

Great tutorial once again sir, very well explained and the result is super clean and perfectly linear. It's great that you explained this using both the airbrush and spray can. Well done and keep up the great work.

[@JHHobby]

Thanks once again! Really appretiate your comments😄😄

[@KarlScaleModeling]

Sure no problem, always a pleasure seeing new content from you ☺️👍

[@stephenfox966]

Yes that thinner masking tape certainly stops any bleeding or ragged edges s it is super sticky.A very sharp knife helps too and a steady hand.

[@JHHobby]

ahh yup trimming the line before removing the tape helps too..forgot to include this trick haha

[@chadjaeckel]

Such great work and tutorials. Thank you for sharing this. Looking forward to more.

I don’t know, the spray can looks pretty good. Why did you spray inside for the spray can but not the airbrush, or did I miss something in the video?

[@bertholdbouman3007]

When you use a spray can, wipe the nozzle clean all the time or it will sputter and splash, as the paint tends to adhere to the nozzle. You can see that happening when he does the inside, at 7.20, stop it at exactly 7.29 and you'll see it.

[@MusicMinisterJP7]

Wow, nice, I had this idea for a 69 Charger I am painting Silver. Black trim will look good. However, you are correct, I will be using airbrush.

[@mikejungferman4744]

I'm gonna try this method, looks easy enough just got to have the tape burnished enough to cut and remove, I'm not entering any contests, and I've never used clear coat, even though I have a can of it

[@KamperAssassin]

Great tutorial thank you, 1 question though is approximately how long do you wait before removing the masking

[@JHHobby]

Thanks! You can remove the masking as soon as you finish spraying the trim..dont leave the masking tape too long on the body because somw clearcoat is soft and the masking will leave some marks

[@ahhong4702]

cant wait to see you finish this E3😍

Is there a need to scuff the clear coat on the trim first? I’m doing a Range Rover Classic model and it has large d-pillars that will be touched when handling.

[@slavikf1]

Thanks for the video! When i try cutting tape on the painted model like this i end up with both tape and paint cut through, looks ugly. Any special tip, besides steady hand?

[@JHHobby]

Hi, normally after paint the cut will no be obvious anymore..and always use a sharp knife😁

[@slavikf1]

Thank you sir! Glad u like it😄

[@fortytwo244]

So I sprayed the black and had tape bleed under my tape, I tried to fix it and ruined my paint job… do you think I should sand those parts and paint again?

[@JHHobby]

Owhh sad to hear that, normally this happen when the paint is too thick or wet..try spray as light as possible..its hard to save but u can try handbrush touchup or use a toothpick to try scrap away the excessive paint

[@keithsmodelsandrcs6593]

Flawless bro

[@Sundaydish1]

I used this method and once slipped and cut into the paintwork (( ISM's method of using 2mm masking tape means not having to take a blade to your model. Time consuming but worth it.

[@PhillysHobbyHouse]

I found 2k clear is the best, if you coat your car in acrylic clear the tape will ruin your polishing job once it’s removed!

[@binal-flecki2387]

you don't need to clearcoat the window trim? can I paint the window trim after painting the car body but before clearcoat and polishing? then clearcoat and polish. then mask again and matte clearcoat the window trim.

[@JHHobby]

Because most window trim is in semi gloss black colour so we just follow the real car..but if you wan protection yes u can clearcoat it, i did some to my models too

[@mohamadfaiz328]

What brand is the spray paint u use? Is it applicable to use it to spray 1/24 plastic kit?

[@JHHobby]

Which one ya? If the trim its tamiya acrylic paint..yes it is made for plastic kit

Hi, I have some trouble when I run the line like 1:15 at the video . The line is disappeared when I want to run it . when I open a brand new 1/24Tamiya gtr r32 nismo. I found that the window line is not that obvious and significant, it is so fuzzy and even disappeared.

[@JHHobby]

Owhh in this case you need to do line scrubbing using scriber tools to deepen the line

[@_BAD_MERC_]

WOW!!! Pretty damn fine!

[@strangerfriend7671]

When I Pell off the masking tape the paint comes off what should I do

[@JHHobby]

Try to spray as light as possible and remove the tape right after u spray, once the paints build up too thick and dried up it will cause this issues

[@ACCollection]

Why your base paint is so strong. I paint with samurai for base paint after that masking and the masking tape always peel off my paint.

[@howardharaway2259]

Can't do this with alot of American kits. The trim is not good enough. Newer tooled car models may be ok but older kits I see a big problem.

@@lordjordzz6920 yes u definitely compressor..its better to get a compressor with Tank..small electronic compressor will not have enough pressure to spray the entire body..small parts like wheels still possible. you can try with the set u bought 1st, see if it works for u =) for nozzle normally i use 0.5mm
