Masking Over Testors Aluminium??

Hello everyone! I’m working on an airplane that requires a red tail and OD anti glare strip. Should I spray those areas before I apply my Tetsors aluminum (enamel), or can I mask over the aluminium with my Tamiya tape? I primed the model with Model Masters acrylic primer. Thank you for your help!

Yeah, I’d paint the red and od first. They’ll take the masking much better.

While I have had some problems masking various aluminum paints, if I do a good job of masking and a good wet coat I can usually mask okay. Also, I prime everything.

I have a nice prime layer down. Do you think if I lay down a nice layer of Future, and let it dry for a few days, that will help reduce any aluminium coming up? I just really don’t want to spray the red and OD first

Well, ill just try that and see what happens
