  1. Paint Mask Option A,B or C?

    I have used Metamark E series (Blue) paint mask and found it easy to cut, weed and apply. Last job was flames on a car, worked very well but you need to rub all the cut edges down well to stop paint bleeding under. (goes for any mask I've used)

  14. Font Detective by Future Corp.

    I honestly think "what the font" is a waste of time, it has never identified a font for me yet, regardless of how clean the sample image is.
