Anyway, looking awesome as always. Can you tell us posers how you get the sharp lines between the banana and the cream? I’ve heard of and used the 1/4 inch green tape before but wondering how it’s actually done. Assuming you paint the piece all one of the colors then mask off and use the other? Do you sand the area at all of the color underneath so the other color will stick to it? If so what grit? Lots of questions but inquiring minds want to know.

Edit: just realized how ironic is it that these are somewhat cub cadet colors. Be honest buddy you're the owner aren't you?
I use 3m blue fine line tape. It make nice lines and isn't super sticky so it won't pull the paint off. I sprayed the white basecoat and let it flash for 30min and then taped it off, then I sprayed on the yellow. Basecoat can sit for 72hrs before sanding is necessary to put on more base or clear.

No, the cars not mine. I'd rather have a 57 Bel Air.
