My 1st 'proper' paint job

[feasty33]

Hi Guys,

Below are a few pics of my first attempt at painting a bodyshell with an airbrush and liquid mask.

There are quite a few errors (esp where i put the drop shadow on the wrong side of the flame!) but overall i'm pretty chuffed! :thumbsup:

The main mistake was racing in 2 meetings before taking any pics!

Looks good, Unlikely people would notice the shadow if you hadn't mentioned it, and certainly unlikely to be noticed on the track. :thumbsup:

Also, I think being two meetings old and battered, shows how well he prepared the shell, and the durabillity of the paints he used! :woot:

You're probably bang on the money regarding the prep work!
I thought i did ok tbh, I washed the shell thoroughly using washing up liquid and dried it with a lint free towel, letting it dry out properly. I also applied heat from my GF's hair drier between coats!

Very much doubt its the paint, as i know its good stuff!
