Please, someone. do a tutorial on painting darts.

I'm seeing all these awesome paintjobs, with the classic transition from front color to rear color. Could someone do a short tutorial on masking techniques? Preferably with lots of pictures. You guys do awesome work, and I'd like to learn from you.

I'm posting this in the How-To section also.

Thanks

hey axsepul, thanks for the link, the info is what I was after. Did you print those out on a machine or hand cut them? The pattern of them is very good looking and so is the bike. You say to remove the stencil soon, do you mean while the paint is still wet? Thanks for the information.

they are cut by my plotter. stencils need to be removed while the paint is still wet or you will not have a sharp edge and the paint will lift when you remove them.

Thanks for the info, I still think someone should do a detailed bit in the how to.
