Comments Please > I removed the hinges completely and painted all the parts separately. Where I had used piano hinges for connections (cowl and forward deck) I cleaned the hinge so tape would stick, covered it with masking tape and then ran the point of a razor knife along the edge of the hinge that trimmed the tape and tucked it into the groove between the hinge and the structure it is attached to at the same time. You need to use a knife to remove the tape also or risk having the tape peel your new paint off. Taping for paint is an important part of the prep for painting. Being careful here will save aggravation when your done painting.
