whisky182 Posted October 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 cheers, it helps with the spraying, but dosn't tell me much on the hand painting (black stripes!) and what colour do you recomend for the neck?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Here's one way; after priming and shooting the base color (white), shoot a couple of coats of clear for insurance, then mask the stripes out with tape, frisket film or a template, and shoot the black stripes. Alternatively, if you're an airbrush wizard, shoot the stripes freehand. Either leave the neck natural, or continue the stripes up the back of the neck, any way you want it.

butnut Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 That's exactly how I'd do it lovekraft...after you pull the masking off, blast the clearcoat over it. Sand and buff...rock on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
