and again'Mask was painted with sandshell base, another color was used but I can't remember the name it was a off white type this was dusted, scratches were added thoughout the movie, the tris were made by masking off the area and spray painted on, Later on the same show touchup was done by masking off areas and spraying the red paint into the cap of the paint and brushing it on, back then the paint had a very high VOC rating so it dried in 30 seconds. That is why the chevrons look like tape when you mask off a line the paint is the same thickness of the masking tape after you pull the tape off you will see a raised edge. remember we do everything quick, films run about $2000.00 a minute we don't have a lot of time to make something look great. we make it only for the lens that is all period.'
