Is somebody a bit bitter or just get out of bed on the wrong side this mornin??:mad:.
Anyone trying to make a living for themselves has it tough enough, especially in todays financial climate. Without people trying to scare them off!!
How many members on here actually 'contribute' rather than just view the forums?? (mentioning no names!!) my guess is a lot!!
Looks to me like Gregg is offering a service to the site, if that is not contrbuting i dont know what is!!!!

Good luck pal...you got my backing!!!:thumbsup:

[greggy]

thanks for the support guys, the reason i do not have access to photobucket at the moment is because i am sat in an ict class lol:D:o

[boultspeed]

some of my first shells were crapola and people were only to quick to pick fault but after a while the same people wanted me to paint their shells

as Blitzboy says when you cant see over the pile of shells youve cracked it ;)

keep practicing mate you will get there and if you need help please feel free to ask

the only thing I would recomend, just do them for people you know right now, and get as much practice as you can, in, it takes ages to perfect things, and then you still learn.

[greggy]

woop, just to let you know, my dad just me ordered a new airbrush

[DCM]

expensive, but if you are using Faskolor, the nozzle is a bit on the small side.

[ace]

hi greggy

good to see you are making ago of it. i run my own company and its tuff mate. even harder in the current market. I have an RC10 gold tub shell and wing i want painting think you are up to the challenge mate? i also need a losixxxcr painting. the rc10 is straight forward 2 colour red/white will sort some pics for you. same design as the worlds cars from the mid 90s. the losi might be more difficult maybe you tell me. looking for a pink and purple checkered flag but so it looks like it has been draped over the shell. the rest of the car brilliant white. then on the wing all white except the outline of some text saying "if in doubt flat out" this will need to made as a text mask is possible. so there you go mate if you think u are up to it let me know.

All the best rob

just ordered a rc10 t4 shell and some paint to do my self a shell, dont know whether i should do a truck version of niel craggs shell or a shell like sloppy's st :confused::):confused::yawn::):confused:

[fakiee]

Would be nice to see some more of your work, I am intrigued. I think this is a good post and suspect that in time you will be known as the one to go too for spray work. Good luck :)

Why not order a few sheet of lexan from ebay and you can practice techniques on their before applying them to costly shells?
