Satya's blog - Canopy painting

Thanks to Swanny's models, I learned how to (and that it was even possible, and a done thing) mask a canopy in order to paint the support struts. Canopies aren't just a big plastic or glass thing, they have non-transparent supports.

So I put masking tape on the X-Wing canopy. Like Swanny says, you put the tape and then score with a knife along the edge, so that you can tear off the excess.


Then you hit it with spray paint, let it dry, and peel off the tape.
