Bob:
Congratulations on using, IMHO, the best modeling paint for rolling stock. I
paint all my equipment (plastic/brass) with Star Brand. You should have no
trouble with masking over the paint. You may recall my S-Helper F7s I painted
in SP Black Widow colors. I had to create curved masks for the nose which I
had painted with SB Silver. No paint pulled when the masks were removed. Same
experience with SB Black when I had to touch up the nose stripes.

Bob:
I am not familiar with the product you mention but it sounds a lot like
Microscale's Micro Mask. I have had very good success with Micro Mask and
recommend it.
Please post photos of your work when complete.
