Only used one thick coat, but the Pro-Line LM does cut and peel well, sticks well where it should.

Needed that bit of experience before attempting the Team Car with it.

Going to brush the LM on the Viper body today, and let it completely dry for a couple of days, like the GT body.

You can brush light coats and dry it with a hair dryer as well.

Took a while to get to this, and it's not much to look at, but the first layer of LM is on.

Will add one more coat when this dries.

Having some trouble with the white curved tape sticking to the angles where the top meets the sides. One tape line lifted so bad, it would've allowed paint to get under it. Had to cut that line out.

Pro-Line Liquid Mask is pretty good so far, easy cut and peel. Was worth the error to test it, in order to know what to expect when changing airbrush colors.

If those white tape lines bleed at all, or don't appear to be sharp and even, the effect will be ruined. Going to keep trying the tape lines and LM, until it's right. Prep is everything in painting, and the hardest part, imo.

Had to pull off all of the LM, and the white tape lines, and start completely over. The LM kept getting under the tape.

If I have to redo the white curves and LM yet again, I will, it's not worth going to all of this trouble, to rush the paint and have weak lines, or bleed. This could take me a while :)

Have you thought about just using liquid mask then cutting all your lines in it without using tape?
