Hey bascially I have replave my R-1 wint with the 99 wing but as most of u know 2 hole leave expose, anyway I deceide to putty to cover up the hole and it look good. I got the stock paint in a spray can special made for me, I was thinking of spray painting the putty spot but I need to tape up the hatch where I do not want to over-spray, if I used good masking tape to seal off the other section will it leave a tape mark? Or what is better way to do it? beside auto body which they will repaint the entire hatch,I can't afford that right now,Thanks. khris

uh....... not the paint in the can **** won't work not very well anyway...
don't mask off any of the hatch... only where you don't want overspray, fold the tape in half you won't get a hard edge that way, if you do mask any of the hatch off...
yeah basically spray and hope for the best wetsand out with like 1500 that's safe you souldn't be able to mess the rest of the clear up to fast with that...
expect to pay more when it comes time for paint though cause everything you do with a can will have to be stripped off

if I was in your postition I would put some red vinyl tape
over the holes, or put some screws/bolts with a rubber washer
to keep the water out.
It would still look better then rattle canning the hatch of a FD.
curious as to what you paid for that can of spray paint?
