    Masking and primer layer

    Not sure I understand the problem correctly, but normally one would paint the lighter colour first, overlapping well the separation line to the darker colour - no masking at this stage. Then you mask off the area already painted and proceed with painting the darker colour. So there are no edges of under-paint exposed.

    I'm painting just a single line a single color, not the entire ship. The rest is natural wood. The problem is the primer is showing.

    So I masked off a part of the hull of the ship I want to paint, and applied primer, then paint. However, when I removed the making tape, I get a line of white primer visible on the edge. It's not because the primer seeped under the making tape, but because when the masking tape is removed, the cross section of the layering became visible.

    The only way I can think to avoid this, is to not apply the primer all the way to the edge, but is there a better way?

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
