liquid masking question help

[aznherb36]

When I put 4 good coats of LMF on should I still be able to see through? I drew the outline on the outside and was curious if I will still be able to see it

yup, it dries clear. you will find with that many coats, it will peel off nicely too, but really 2-3 is all you need.

Thanks guys. I have a question

THis is what imma have and my quesiton is the red part, its like the ripping of the metal. Should I paint that at the end?

could someone name the steps in order from what should go first? I know the body color goes first, but should I put all the coats on?

Usually your best bet is to apply your colors from darkest to lightest so that the dark colors don't show through the lighter ones.

[aznherb36]

When you cut the masking should it all come off in 1 piece? or mostly 1 piece?

[hijacker]

Hopefully one piece. For instance, one of the squares on your body in the picture should just peel up as a single piece. If you are having to pick off little bits and pieces and the LM breaks as you are peeling it, then you didn't apply it thick enough.
