Yes I masked it using the lazer light on a block and mixed up a couple of colours. First a brown a bit darker than the bottom paint and second a green to simulate mould/weed. I airbrushed (low pressure-just enought to work the spray) in a constant flow from about 45 deg from above and about 6" away aiming at the tape to allow the overspray to fan out on the hull. I wipe the dribbles off the tabe with rag before they reach the hull. I also always do a coat of clear before any detail work incase I want to 'click REDO' IE rub it back off and start again. This saves damaging the base coat.The green is just on odd bits as it would be for real. Low pressure areas etc. I use car acrylic laquer for the above and A L clear sprayed from about a metre to land slightly sandy.
Thanks for your interest BTW!!
