You buy a hooked blade, to fit into a stanly 1991 classic style knife.
The carpet fitters use them for cutting carpet.

It might be a little difficult to cut intricate stuff with a stanley blade. Anywhere you can buy scalpel blades from, will have a selection of shapes of blades. I get mine from an art shop near me. I'll post some pics later on. As im planning to start the paintjob today!

yes and no, if you watch a pro painter (on a car show like pimp my ride, rides, overhaulin') they use razor blades to cut either tape or remove paint. thay normally use the big old style razor blades like this  or just use a stanley knife blade out of the knife case. just as long as you can comftable use it. _________________

Is everything that you need for the entire paint project : primer, base coat, coloured paint, clear coat, rubbing compound?

I just used Grey primer and then black on top of it, and it looked brilliant, really really smart until i put some clear laquer on it, left it 24 hrs and it had completely wrecked the finish and colour scheme, got white patches etc. tryed to wet and dry it off and it buggered more, so i have some patchy goey stuff now. Going to have to sand it back down to the first black coat and start again  anyway- primer, colour coat, polish and buffer, wet and dry. thats it. _________________

just thought id add a little thing iv picked up along the line. if you want to give your paint job a nice mirror shine (almost car quality) it isnt that hard or exspensive, i did this on my antec 900 and my moms camo compaq lap top i painted. all you need is some clear coat/lacker (also availble from halfords) couple of sheets of sand paper some fair liquid and patience  basicly you want to aply 2 or 3 very thin light coats of clear to your finished paint job then wet sand buff (i use a old t shirt) and repeat. the more time and effort you put in the better the finish is and it can really lift a plain paint job to something stunning. hope thats some help lol sorry if this is old hat
