neat way to paint rub-strips
These are hard to paint - most painters will hang them on wire in the booth. You need to coat the edges and they can blow around on wires. I took plastic tube, pushed the stud in and pushed a stiff wire with a 'curly-cue' into the other end. The rest of the wire is looped to form a base and the base is stapled and taped to a flat topped sawhorse. I've done a number of XR's and they have many pieces of cladding and stuff that needs painting separately. Cover the horses with real live mask paper to keep crap from blowing off onto your work.
