I have a Bobamaker helmet on order, as part of an ESB build and it's not due to come until Feb / Mar so I'm getting started on research. I've been watching Blaidon Props YouTube series on how to paint the lid and I just want to check something re: the whole layered stencil process.
Lets use the silver damage areas on the back panels as an example.
So, in the Blaiden Props video he says to use masking fluid to mark out the areas where you want the silver to show through, then paint your layer of grey. Remove the masking fluid, then re-apply it for the silver and the grey areas of damage before moving on to the next layer.
My question is, why remove the silver fluid only to re-apply it along with the grey? Why not just leave it on until the end and likewise for every subsequent layer? Is there a reason the masking fluid has to be removed and re-applied for each layer?
