    Default Painting around Poly Bushes

    I recently bought some suspension items from the states and want to paint them the colour I have been using as highlites on the car.

    I tried using a masking tape around the bushes though and the tape simply fell off. I tried some other types of tape and they simply fell off as well.

    A mate gave me some of this paint on stuff that you let dry and it acts as a mask and then you pull it off but it was too fidly.

    I would much prefer to use a tape to mask up. Anybody got a sugestion

    Cheers

    yeah prepsol. rub it thoroughly all around the bushes, then wipe it off. layer the masking tape over everything including the part you are going to paint. then use a razor blade to cut the excess tape off. it leaves a perfect edge.
