You need to feather the spraying to make it blend in, and even then you'll probably need to flatten it down again.Right I intend to spray my whole A panel (no problem there) and the top of th ewing by the scuttlepanel. I intend masking off approx 12 inch by 12inch now my question is how do I stop there being a lip when I remove the masking tape. Thelip I meanis raised paint on the freshly sprayed agains the original not resprayed bit.

It also helps if you fold the edge of the masking tape like in my artistic diagram this ensures that any paint that goes near your tape edge blows under the tape, preventing a hard edge.
You can also get soft edge tape which works one same principal. Soft edge tape is like a long foam sausage the prevents a sharp edge.

yeah bloody good stuff for door shuts etc, but you can get away with more using the flap edge tape method on flat panels.It also helps if you fold the edge of the masking tape like in my artistic diagram this ensures that any paint that goes near your tape edge blows under the tape, preventing a hard edge.
