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
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.
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.
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.
After u paint the chrome, you have to back it with a waterbase black to get a realistic look.
Here is a picture of the final mask pealed back
Now I take faswhite and lightly mist the rips
Now for the carbon fiber look in the back, I use Fasblue and fasescent blue. I spray the fasescent blue through the matting first.
then i back it up with the fasblue
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.
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
