I actually didn't mask my canopy. I painted with a brush free hand. I just used a chisled wooden match afterward to take off the excess paint.

Well I've done more work on the paint job. No more air so the rest is with my art brushes. The two photos are a kind of before and after using Isopropyl Alcohol. The stuff is great as a flattening agent. As for paint, it does lighten the color down a notch. I realize that it may be hard to see the difference but there is a difference. What do you guys think?

Well I'm back at it. Finally put the last vent or grating on and added most of the decals. I still have a ways to go but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I still need to add a few things but mostly I'm doing the final detail work that I put off until I got the outside painted. All but the first photo were taken outside. It seemed like a nice day and I wanted to see what it would look like in sun light instead of florescent light. I know that lighting can play tricks on what the color actually is. I'm quite pleased with the last shot.

Sorry, took a couple of other photos and forgot to upload them. The last one is similar to the prior posting but actually is leveled better.
