<DIV><FONT size=4>Todd,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Are you saying to sand BEFORE I pull up the existing tape
line? Or do you mean to pull the tape, sand lightly, and then mask for the next
color?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Vern, If your using a two stage paint such as Dupont
Chromo Base, I would suggest <U>lightly</U> wet sanding the tape
line with 1500 to 2000 grit before masking the second color. You'll
be amazed on how much "loose"paint comes off the line leaving a nice
shallow ridge to mask against. Be careful and you'll be fine.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>I'm in the process of painting my Smaragd and this is the
first time I've chosen a color scheme where the colors butt up to each
other. In the past, I've always used a white separation stripe between each
color. My question is whether you wet sand the ridge at the tape line before
you mask for the next color, or do you just tape off the color that was
already applied, pull off the previous masking tape and shoot the next
one. I'm using 3M fine-line tape.</FONT></DIV>
