Hi Jason and Paul,
        I redid my Rostyle's last year solely by masking tape, Krylon colors
(semiblack black & silver), and then a clear. I believe way back in the
archives, numerous people pointed out the failures of the mask so I
experimented with an unused Rostyle and it wasn't much of a problem.
