My latest in painting bodies
#1
Here is a few pics of what I have been working on.
I dunno what to do with the hood. I stink at carbon fiber painting.
The rear in silver I plan on cutting out the small slots and the slot up on top.
This is my first time using the liquid mask but I still had used some tape.
The finish has yellow, silver, red, orange and black.
The design is in silver with black outlining it.

I was on another path with this and I ended up here being creative.

Give me some ideas on what to do with the hood.
I do have some color changing paint that is like rusty red color from Spaztix.

wow dude im impressed! did u hand cut those designs?

I think carbon fiber would look really good on the hood, use parma faspearle black and faspearl charcoal and if u mess up it wont be as noticeable. Otheriwse i think a nice mirror chrome like from alclad would look cool. or even like an iridescent blue or maybe metallic red

it looks like he used a plastic bag while the paint was wet and did a couple different colors , it looks tight, and mike is right carbon fiber would look really good, and i think mike was talking about the silver designs not the main body Smile

Yep---I put a few drops on a plate and used a balled up piece of saran wrap.

As for the designs---yes but off a template I printed out and taped to the outside of the body. It is not perfect but lining it up was not easy and I also had to do some freehand. at the same time I was worried I was pressing to hard with the blade.
Let me tell ya it was a bitch--it took me an hour or more to cut that.
I used a #10 exacto blade.
Problem was I could not see where the cut went to. Once I started a part I had to finish that fisrt before I could stop. Kinda oissed the wife off when she asked for something. I had to fix some of it with masking tape cut to what it was suppose to be.

As for CB look---I would do it but the problem I have is all the curves and shaprness of the hood.
I do have mirror chrome but I forgot what to back it with. I was thinking of a dark custom colored metalic red.

FWIW---I was going a tribal theme---I dunno but based on all my other work I tend to lean towards the darker colors. When I come up with an idea and map it out--it is great in lighter colors.
It is when I start it---I end up going with the flow---I guess you can I do what speaks to me.
I never know what the main color will end up like---it is a risk.

Looks creative....

What about leaving the hood clear? I do that when I paint my own bodies, leave certain parts clear...kinda different and cool at the same time.

If you want to use that mirror chrome...Just spray, slow dry(no hair blowers),then back it up with black.

yeah I guess leaving a clear body section that is connected to another clear spot (like windows) would look kinda weird.

I have left whole bottom halves of bodies clear ...lol I'm sure some of you remeber them...lol

u have to back chrome with water based black enamel or laquer black will dull it. I think u meant putting the red in and backing it with chrome.

If you use LMF for the hole body it will be much easier. i usually use a no.11 exacto blade.

The reason u got some of those edges that bled through was because of the tape, LMF wont do that.

Dude thats good if it only took u an hour most of my designs take me about 4-6 hours to completely cut out so dont feel bad LOL Smile
