headlight bezels 1967 442

How do you tap off the headlight bezels to paint it, what is the easy way. I tried pin stripping it with tap, but you got to be kidding me. Help

they make fine line masking tape get at automotive paint supply stores. It masking tape that is like 1/8 inch thick. then back tape after that. Works well.

I have used Vaseline on many interior/exterior trim pieces to separate the paint/unpainted areas... Not saying it's the easiest method, but does save a lot of double taping and in some instances doesn't leave a hard line between the painted and unpainted areas...

Fine line taping is the most correct way that I have found.
