Here is a step by step on how i did Ryan Maifield's bodies...

First step is to take the body and wash it with warm water and dish soap.

Next I use 4-5 coats of Parma's Fasmask (liquid masking film
[Image: DSC016992.JPG]

Here is a picture of the templates I use when i do a body, I probably have hundreds of these. It really makes it easier to duplicate a previous paint scheme.
[Image: DSC017012.JPG]

Here is what the body looks like after I have used my templates to re-trace the design onto the body with an Ultra Fine point sharpie.
[Image: DSC017042.JPG]
This is a very crucial step in the process; you want to get ur lines as close to the "final drraft" as u can. That is the reason why i use an ultra fine point sharpie, because I am able to draw out the design and trace those lines with the Xacto knife and know that it is exactly what it will look like

Here are all 4 bodies that I will be working on all drawn up
[Image: DSC017082.JPG]

Now its time to bust out a shiny new #11 blade for the Xacto knife and start cutting. I use a new blade for every body that I paint, a dull knife will give u poor lines. I cut out the intial design first, following the lines that I have drawn on the body. In this picture you can see that I used one of Josh's tips, holding the knife back as far as possible, it really helps to steady it out.
[Image: DSC017092.JPG]

After I get everything cut out, I use some rubbing alcohol to wipe off the marker.
[Image: DSC017102.JPG]
[Image: DSC017112.JPG]
[Image: DSC017142.JPG]

Now for the "fun" part--the pinstriping. This step takes a ton of practice and most of all patience. I probably spent a good 4-5hours cutting the pinstriping on these 4 bodies. If you take your time and do it right, the results will be excellent.
[Image: DSC017402.JPG]
[Image: DSC017422.JPG]

After cutting the pinstripe on all of the bodies, I peal out the mask over the pinstriped area
[Image: DSC017472.JPG]
[Image: DSC017482.JPG]
[Image: DSC017492.JPG]

Who says paintings not dangerous, here is a nice example of what happens when u cut out designs late at night and drop the Xacto knife into ur leg Smile
[Image: DSC017542.JPG]

Now its time to paint, here are some pics of my cheesy "paint booth" aka my basement lol
[Image: DSC017552.JPG]

The paint

the music

the compressor
[Image: DSC017602.JPG]
and my work bench, got a little bored and added some skulls to this one lol
[Image: DSC017622.JPG]

Now to start the actual painting, I started out by painting the pinstripe faskrome satin. I used 1 light coats and one moderate coat followed by a coat of faswhite to seal in the color.
[Image: DSC017632.JPG]
[Image: DSC017652.JPG]
[Image: DSC017672.JPG]
[Image: DSC017692.JPG]

after a quick shot with the hair dryer, I next pealed the mask off the areas where i was going to paint the carbon fiber
[Image: DSC017702.JPG]

For the carbon fiber I use faspearl charcoal and faspearl black, this gives u a nice subtle look, u can do this effect with a number of different colors.
[Image: DSC017712.JPG]

here u can see the different sizes of drawer liner that i have cut out over time and saved
[Image: DSC017722.JPG]

I start by spraying the charcoal through the matting first then backing it with faspearl black
[Image: DSC017732.JPG]
[Image: DSC017742.JPG]
[Image: DSC017782.JPG]

Next I peal off the trim around the windows and paint them with 2-3 light coats of fasflourescent pink
[Image: DSC017792.JPG]
[Image: DSC017802.JPG]
[Image: DSC017812.JPG]
then i back the pink with a coat of white
[Image: DSC017852.JPG]

After this paint dries, I put the bodies in the refrigerator, yes the refrigerator lol. I believe it was Aaron walker who told me about puting the bodies in front of a fan to cool the mask off, but i took it one step further lol. When the mask is cool, it is much easier to peal off large section of it in one piece without pulling away any paint.
[Image: DSC017862.JPG]

while the bodies are in the fridge I take the time to clean out the small bucket of water i use to rinse my airbrush in b/w colors. An ice bucket out of a hotel room works well Smile
[Image: DSC017832.JPG]
[Image: DSC017842.JPG]

Now that the main portion of the tribal flames is uncovered its time to paint the pink shadow along the edge.
[Image: DSC017872.JPG]
For this step i remove the small crown cap that protects the needle of the airbrush so that I can get closer to the body, I also turn down the air pressure to about 20-25
[Image: DSC017912.JPG]
[Image: DSC017952.JPG]
Before I do any painting, I use a dryer sheet and rub it on the outside of the body to get rid of any static that may have built up since i washed the bodies.
[Image: DSC017962.JPG]

I do three light coats of pink, the first one u can barely see, each coat makes the color progressively darker. This is a good way to build up the color into the shade u want.
[Image: DSC017982.JPG]
[Image: DSC017992.JPG]
after those coats have dried i back that with 2 coats of faswhite.
[Image: DSC018042.JPG]

Next, I put the bodies back in the fridge. After they are nice and cool I peal off the section for the skulls and chrome rips.
[Image: DSC018062.JPG]

This next step is really difficult and also takes a considerable amount of patience. I use fasblack to put a shadow on all of the flames. I try to make it all even however it is difficult because of the contours of the body; doesnt help that it was about 4am when i was doin this either. Again i have the crown cap off the airbrush and the psi at about 20

Here is a picture of the Craig Fraiser Skullmaster stencils that I will be using, these are a bit pricey but very good in quality and can be cleaned with any solvents
[Image: DSC018132.JPG]
and here is a picture of the paint i will be using the paint the skulls, I used about half a paint cup (paint cup of the airbrush) of white and 2 drops of black. you can go with white or just about any shade of grey for this.
[Image: DSC018152.JPG]
now to fit the stencil into the body, this is tricky as u dont want to scratch any paint off while bending the stencil; it has some sharp edges on it.
[Image: DSC018162.JPG]
[Image: DSC018172.JPG]
u can get a nice combo of soft and hard edges with the stencil

After the skulls are painted on the whole body its time for the chrome; I think the Alclad II laquer is the best however its a bit pricey at 8$ a bottle.
[Image: DSC018202.JPG]
[Image: DSC018222.JPG]

After u paint the chrome, you have to back it with a waterbase black to get a realistic look.
[Image: DSC018242.JPG]

Here is a picture of the final mask pealed back
[Image: DSC018252.JPG]

Now I take faswhite and lightly mist the rips
[Image: DSC018272.JPG]

Now for the carbon fiber look in the back, I use Fasblue and fasescent blue. I spray the fasescent blue through the matting first.
[Image: DSC018282.JPG]
[Image: DSC018292.JPG]
then i back it up with the fasblue
[Image: DSC018312.JPG]

Now you can either back everything in white or just spray the clear. Since i had to ship these out right away I skipped the white and backed them.
[Image: DSC018302.JPG]

Now the bodies are just about finished all thats left is to let the enamel dry and re cut the window lines; peal the mask of the windows and pull the film off the body.

and the finished product
