Need suggestions as to what to use to separate the OD top color from the gray bottom. I use an airbrush for most of my painting. I don't want a tape line.

Darrell,
I would recommend using silly putty, check out the YouTube link below. I have tried many different masking methods, and so far one of my favorites is the Uhu Adhesive Putty. The putty is very malleable, relatively cheap, and has a low tack. The putty cleans up easily, and you can reuse it. There's a link below to the amazon page for the item. I use the Uhu putty in the same way the guy uses silly putty in the YouTube video, and for larger surfaces I use the putty in conjunction with masking tape.
This isn't the only way to mask off areas, and I encourage you to try several methods on a 'stunt' model to figure out which works best for you. Hope this helps.
