Re: Two colour panel

use fine line masking tape, paint both your base colours then lacquer, you will still have a "ridge" so personally I "flow coat" it by dry flatting the whole panel back with 800 grit (when lacquer cured) then another 2 coats of lacquer that will get rid of the ridge and also prot...
