    Touching up technique

    I’ve been painting the hull of my Queen Mary Ship and masked of the various colours. For most part this has work quite well but inevitably there always seems to be a small about of airbrush paint that creeps under the tape. What’s the best method of touching in as brushing usually looks to obvious over airbrushing . Do you just try to mask of the small area in question?

    Personally I'd mask off on the black line and respray white over the overspray.

      I have been looking closer and I’m now thinking the whole
      Black line is slightly high so I could do with masking the whole side again and extending the white down from the top slightly. Spraying white over black is a bit of a nightmare being such a dark colour. Would it be best to spray a grey primer colour first over the black before re doing the white . Any tips on best way to go about spraying white over black .

        Covering black is always going to be an issue. Can you strip the paint off (half an inch either side of the current line) then repaint.
