- Tips on how to use silly putty to mask of parts before painting. I use an airbrush for this and have never tried this with spray paints.

Thanks for showing us how! I love adding new techniques to my repertoire. Can't wait to try this!
Have fun!
Never would have thought to do this. Haven't played with silly putty sence I was a kid. Thanks for the tip.
Thank you!
Cool Tip. I do something similar with Blue tack.
Thanks!
Great idea, thank you!
Thanks!
Thanks for showing this Raoul. I'd heard of people using silly putty to mask things off, but I'd never seen it done before.
Thank you!
Great tips from a great builder
Thank you!
I always use it, it's cheap and works really well. I have found some colors run if you leave them afew hours before painting. Yellow silly putty is one of them. Great tip!
Thanks! I have not had that happen but have not had yellow silly putty.
Great tips! Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Very cool, thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
That's a brilliant idea sir thank you very much I would have never thought of this idea
Thanks! I can’t take credit for this. Just sharing tips I have learned.
I wasn't even done watching this video before I had ordered some Silly Putty for myself. Thanks for the great tip Raoul. Love the colors on the Vette and can't wait to see further progress on the '65 Plymouth.
Thank you!
I've dabbled with using it over the years, pretty cool stuff 😁✌️
It works surprisingly well!
Great show Raoul. I have been using the silly putty for years. Ron
Thanks! It works pretty good.
Very nice tutorial on using Silly Putty to mask off things for paint. I really appreciate this video. I’ve seen other CZcams modelers use Silly Putty, but never a tutorial on how to use it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Works quite well I have used it before
Yes it does!
Thank you. I have to try this.
You’re welcome!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Awesome tutorial brother, thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Love using Silly Putty. I saw it on here a couple of years ago and have been using it ever since. Great video. Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!
Wow great tutorial! I’ve been using silly putty for years but never knew about the tape trick to remove the paint. Awesome tip! Thanks again!
You learn something every day!
Thank you very informative
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
Ive seen an article in SAE magazine on this method. I always wanted to try it but I never think about getting silly putty when I go to the store. Funny thing is I always think of using it when Im masking to paint.
I know I seen it somewhere long ago and gave it a try. It works great!
cool idea using silly putty,have a great weekend
Thanks, you too!
A great tutorial indeed.
If I may, I would use the putty only on the areas of the floor pan, (corners), than the tape would be harder to put down and mask off the larger areas all in one piece.
Thanks! I have tried that once, but I still got overspray under the taped area. So I just use one or the other and don't mix.
Scale Auto Did a Article on Silly Putty Masking in late 80s I've used this since then. Nice for you To Repeat For those who don't know about the Technique !
Thanks!
It works great for camouflaging 1/48 and 1/72 scale model airplanes
Thank you!
There once was something I saw and used from rc car stores called liquid mask. You brushed in on let it dry then trimed it with a sharp razor blade before painting. I think it was mostly used for keeping paint of lexan wind shields on rc car bodies but I guess you could use it in other ways
That is Liquid Masking Film. I have had it and tried it. Found it harder to use. Worked better on flat paint. Found it stuck real well to glossy paint and had a hard time pulling it off.
That is a great tip, thanks, who knew a toy I played with as a kid would help me now, P.S. use the original silly putty on news paper and see what happens.
I know what happens! I was a paperboy! LOL!
@@TheMuscleCarModeler ya so was I, still a great tip, thanks.
Awesome Stuff Bro, Thanks For Sharing n God Bless All,,,, Gary.
Thank you!
Very helpful! Thanks for posting this :-)
Glad it was helpful!
I just watched another CZcamsr for miniatures use silly putty, what a coincidence. I like your tutorial better since you go into more detail, thanks. I have a question about masking the interior, it seems like a lot of work on a larger area. Could you mask with tape the large center portion and then use the putty for the areas up to the edges? I just looked into getting some silly putty on Amazon, a bit pricey, what’s a fair price for the putty that you’ve seen?
Thank you. I bought at Walmart. Have bought at hobby stores as well. You could mask then use the silly putty. I have tried that but still got overspray under the tape. So I just stay with one or the other.
Thanks for sharing, I have to see if I can find some Silly Putty here in Denmark :-D
I think that stuff should be available just about anywhere But who knows.
Great tutorial Raouel! You use the scale models paint. I got some for a ‘69 Cougar I’m building. Do you thin the paint? It’s pretty thin right out of the bottle. When I airbrushed it, it went on like cotton candy. Very stringy. Any suggestions? Thanks for sharing. Happy days and model on! 😎
Scale Finishes is what I use, and it does not need to be thinned.
Cool
I hope this helps.
I Like That SIR Thank You
Great. Glad it was helpful!
Off topic of this video - but where do you get your bumpers rechromed ?
Thank you !
I was using Chrome Tech USA. Don't have anyone currently.
There are several good chrome paints out there. I think the chrome in most kits is too thick and reflective to scale. In my opinion it makes the cars look more like toys. It appears that in the videos the chrome that Raoul uses looks pretty good. There is an article on painting scale models in muted colors to accurately represent scale. If I find it in my notes, I’ll post it.
👍👍👍
Thanks
do you reccomend a certain thickness or just enough to cover the space you want to mask off? I have access to play-doh- will that work the same?
I think thicker is better. It gets harder to remove when it’s thinner. I have not tried play doh. My son has some and I don’t think that will work as well plus it does leave some residue.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler thanks
I just used silly putty to mask off- turned out great!!!, with a few tweaks and some practice, it's going to be my go to for masking small ( intricate ) parts- thanks!!!
Hi! Can someone help me? Can I use any color of Silly Putty to mask paintings? I've bought Silly Putty for this purpose as well, but I couldn't choose the color from the online shop I got it. As the add photo was the one with the red egg and beige putty, I thought they'd only sell that one. But when they arrived, I got two blue ones (it says "super bounce!" on the label) and a yellow one (it says "silly scents" on the label). Since I haven't opened the eggs yet, I would like to know if there's any difference in consistency or something that wouldn't work for painting miniatures with those variations. I would already like to thank anyone who is taking their time to read and answer this 😊
Ps.: I live in Brazil and the original Silly Putty is reeeeeally expensive here (you wouldn't believe). But I bought the original anyway, since I've seen it's the best stuff for masking. That's why I'm asking for help, because if these ones don't work, I can return them without spending a lot of money, since the label isn't opened/damaged yet.
I have not tried any of those myself. I have used regular silly putty and it didn’t matter on the color. Super bounce may work but sounds like it would be thick. Scented may not matter but still don’t know. I did have one that was metallic and it worked but the paint stuck to the putty better than expected and the tape had trouble taking it off. The part itself came out fine.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler thanks so much! I saw you using the metallic one, and I guess maybe the ones I have may work well, too... I'm only afraid to open them because they were so expensive! How come a toy that is so little and is so cheap in one place be so expensive in other? That's because Brazil has the most monstrous taxes I've ever seen 👀
That and probably shipping if not made over there.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler exactly, there isn't just one tax for shipping here, there are many (at least 7 different taxes, depending on which country I order something from)
Looks like the Silly Putty is quite effective...
Works pretty good!
