    everytime I have used this stuff I have had problems sticking tape to it. I you are doing any kind of graphics that you need to mask off then I wouldent use it. I had to redo an entire flame job because I was using one of there candies. I put down the silver base coat, then masked the flames off, when I went to remove the tape it pulled silver up on over 70% of the car.

    Thats just my experiance with the stuff. If you do use it be sure to use a heat lamp or heat gun because if each coat is not dry the fluid will begin to "gather" on the car.

    Good luck!

    I am an avid user of AUto Air colors. I use it for all my airbrush work, my fine art pieces as well as small and large basecoats. It's very versatile and very user friendly. Anyone could use this paint in their yard or driveway to paint their cars without any harmful vapours flying around.

    As far as masking goes, you need to make sure the base is properly heat cured and for the right amount of time before any masking can take place. I had some of my base peel up on a helmet after I never cured it enough.

    Here are a couple examples of paint jobs I ahve done with AAC

    They have a really comprehensive web page. It's biased, but full of details and how-to's
