I'm going to attempt my first custom. I bought a few world peacekeeper humvees and tanks that I want to convert to cobra. I got krylon paint, do I use painters tape to mask off areas that I dont wont that color? Also how can I make stickers for it? Are there any sites that have sticker sheets I can print? Any other tips would be appreciated. Thank you

If you look in the custom forums there are threads with stickies that answer all your questions.
Good luck!

What I like to do for cobra logos is take a cobra stand you don't use and cut off the footpeg with an exacto. Lightly paint over the Cobra symbol with a brush (Testors Model Master is awesome) and stamp it on a flat surface like the hood. (This does not work with Joe stands though). It is pretty much hit or miss, but when it works it is awesome! This project sounds awesome though so whether or not you use this technique, let me see some pics!

I'd been using painter's tape for a while, & adhesion can be an issue. I finally tried just regular masking tape, & I'm much happier with that.
