Like stated above, i've got this small kitchen fire extingisher, i figure if a fire were to happen under the hood it would at least help put it out...lol Anyways i'm painting it with some flames, just wondering what i could use besides masking tape to mask the flames?

use 3m blue fineline (1/8") tape to get the shape you want, then go over it with masking tape, and cut LIGHTLY along the blue trail right in the center and remove the masking tape from the area you want to paint the flames on

That's pretty much what i just did, except i used 3M blue 2 inch masking tape and just penned the outline, then cut it with an exacto knife. I'll post pics when it's finish.

the reason to use the fine line tape first is because the other tapes will typically soak in a little paint and cause bleeding on the edges
