After spending 130 bucks on an airbrush, paint, thinner, propelle can, and about 5 differant kinds of masking tape, I pull out my remote control BMW to paint some flames/stripes on there. I come up with a design, mask it off, and ready my airbrush. I spray. I get:

-Bleeding
-Edge buildup
-"Stuttering" dots
-Not correct color
-Masking peels off
-A mess all over
-A huge headach from doing all this in my basement
-One fucked up BMW body.

I screwed this up bad. One of my problems is my masking. My masking tape (1/8th an inch) was a bitch to put on, and didn't stick well at all. Maybe i'll stick to Photoshop and 3D. No! I want to learn to do this correctly.

I'd love to be able to print out my design on some sticky paper, cut out what I want to spray, and stick the paper on there.
Is there such thing as some kind of masking "paper" that is sticky, but won't leave any residue when I peel it off?
This would be so much easier than outlining everything with tape. On the scale i'm working at, anyway.

Thanks
