Create sharp paint lines, detailed graphics and custom colour schemes on your RC body shells with Killerbody Liquid Masking Medium. This brush-on masking solution is designed to help hobbyists achieve precise paint separation when painting clear polycarbonate RC car bodies, particularly when working with curves, stripes and intricate designs that can be difficult to mask using conventional tape.

Simply apply the liquid masking medium evenly to the inside of a clean RC body shell and allow it to dry into a protective film. Once dry, carefully cut your chosen design into the masking film and peel away the sections you want to paint. The remaining film protects other areas during painting, allowing you to create multi-colour designs and detailed custom liveries.

Supplied in a convenient 40ml bottle with an instruction sheet, Killerbody KB48066 is a practical addition to any RC body painting toolkit, whether you're customising a drift car, touring car, crawler or another compatible polycarbonate body shell.

How to Use

  1. Clean the inside of the clear polycarbonate body shell thoroughly and allow it to dry.
  2. Using a suitable brush, apply an even layer of Killerbody Liquid Masking Medium to the areas you want to mask. Avoid excessive build-up.
  3. Allow the masking medium to dry completely into a film. Gentle, low-temperature airflow may assist drying; avoid excessive heat.
  4. Draw the desired paint design on the body's outside protective film, where applicable.
  5. Use a sharp hobby knife to carefully cut along the intended design lines, cutting through the masking film without damaging the body shell.
  6. Peel away the masking sections covering the areas to be painted first.
  7. Apply compatible polycarbonate paint according to the paint manufacturer's instructions, allowing it to dry appropriately between coats.
  8. Repeat the masking removal and painting process for additional colours, then remove the remaining masking film as required.

FAQ

What is Killerbody Liquid Masking Medium used for? It is a brush-on masking solution used to protect selected areas of RC body shells during painting. Once dry, it forms a film that can be cut and peeled away to create precise colour boundaries and custom designs.

Can I use KB48066 on clear Lexan or polycarbonate RC bodies? Yes. It is particularly useful for clear polycarbonate body shells painted from the inside, including compatible RC drift, touring and crawler bodies.

How do I apply the liquid masking medium? Clean and dry the body shell, then apply an even coating with a brush. Allow the film to dry before cutting or removing any sections. Follow the included instruction sheet for the complete procedure.

Can I use liquid mask to create multi-colour RC body designs? Yes. Paint different areas in stages by peeling away selected sections of the dried mask. For inside-painted clear bodies, a darker-to-lighter colour sequence is generally recommended in Killerbody's instructions.

Does the liquid masking medium need to dry before painting? Yes. The medium must form a dry film before it is cut and selectively removed. Drying conditions vary depending on coating thickness, room temperature and airflow.

Do I need a hobby knife to use liquid mask? A sharp hobby knife is useful when cutting detailed shapes into the dried film. Apply only enough pressure to cut the masking layer, as cutting too deeply may scratch or weaken the polycarbonate body.

Can I use this product instead of regular masking tape? Yes. Liquid masking can be especially useful for complex curves, small graphics and irregular shapes. Conventional masking tape may still be convenient for simple straight lines and large areas.

Does the liquid mask peel off after painting? Yes. The product is designed to form a removable film. Peel it away carefully according to the painting sequence and instructions. Correct surface preparation and complete drying help achieve consistent results.

Can I use this product on hard-plastic or resin models? Some hobby retailers describe broader modelling applications, but Killerbody's published instructions focus on RC body painting. Test on a small inconspicuous area before using it on hard plastic, resin or other unfamiliar surfaces.

Does the bottle include a brush or paint? No. The standard package contains one 40ml bottle of liquid masking medium and an instruction sheet. Brushes, hobby knives and paint are separate items.
