Where do you get that testors tint paint from? I can't find it anywhere.
I had to use a different kind op paint from a different store...but most people can find it at wall mart.

IMO its easier to remove the tails and just paint them. Now with removing the paint if you messed it up. Just use some paint thinner and rub it over the tails. It will come off, I had to do this the first time I did my tails cause it was coming off. To prevent it from happening just put some clear coat over it after it has dried.

If you're not going to sand them, use many many LIGHT LIGHT coats of paint. And be very sure to give it lots of time to dry. After you tint them, be sure to spray on some clear. Then use your finger nail to trace a line around the tape so that when you pull off the tape, it doesn't pull the paint with it.
