From masking to pulling off the overspray film was about 2 hours. I use a hairdryer to speed the drying process. Does not include cutting out the body which I do first. Simple paint job using an airbrush and Faskolors.

That's the best two hour paint job I have seen yet. Very nice looking body man!
Takes me 2 hours to put the window masks on and its down hill from there.
If I drive to your house and have you do a body for me it would be a 2 and a half hour paint job.
I'm on my way.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
I did use pre-cut vinyl masks from xxx main. It make it go much easier and faster. If I had to use liquid mask on the inside and cut that stuff by hand, it would be a 2 week job.
It also helped that I was using those parma bottle adapters so I can spray the paint straight out of the faskolor bottles. That, in combination with some faskleaner to clean the airbrush while changing colors, made the painting process go quick.
