OK, so I'm fairly satisfied with the results, and certainly, things have been learnt.
Lessons learnt... The Candy Green - I put it on lightly, and in several coats (even though I wasn't spraying much of it) and it seemed to have a really significant impact on the liquid mask. Where the CG had touched the mask, I found myself peeling off a candy green, ultra thin, mask. This impact alot of areas of the shell and led to me having to re-cut some mask lines.... end result - imperfection, 2 hours extra on the job and cramp in my legs (I stood up for 6 hours doing it) whilst asleep. The CG was (apart from the chrome) the only solvent based paint I used in the scheme, which must have played a part. All said though - it's a lovely looking colour. Black & White - Came out of my airbrush quicker than 'owt else. - and as a consequence I have some very minor bleeding. Equipment - I have a £20 airbrush and a nice compressor. No regulator or filter & I suspect I need those things if I wish to spray regularly and well ? Do I need an airbrush that has the ability to spray fine lines?? ... I think so. Advice welcome. Good stuff... Chrome - Amazing stuff. So reflective and shiny. Awesome stuff. Owner - He loves it. That's what really counts. Liquid Mask - Apart from the issues with the CG described above - I love this stuff. How I masked shells with tape etc I will never know. Questions... Trim lines - If I want say a 3mm line around an area in chrome, how do people go about cutting it out? Just by hand? If so - some of the jobs I've seen on here astound me.... or maybe I should drink less?

Hi Andy I don't use any filters or regulator and as for lines I always cut by hand the bleeding might be down to the paint mask not peeling right due to it not being thick enough and I always use a fresh blade on every shell too mate

Hi Andy.
Looks good fella, get some decent pics of it up !! Have you done any of the other shells yet.... Post them up if you have ![]() I used some candy paint on a shell and it went horribly wrong, was like spraying water, I threw the tin away so I don't make the mistake of using it again, it seemed to melt through the other paint and spoil my liquid mask too, si I know your pain ! |

Hiya Andy, I would recomend you get a moisture trap, tends to build up & ultimately the water will come out through the gun with the paint. Trim lines mate - Practice really fella, and a steady hand!! Mike P. |

Some things I try to leave till last when spraying, that is Fluro and Chrome colours, as they are the most likely I have found for lifting.

yep - the wing needs backing.
Can't decide whether to do the window trims. Not sure I'm keen on it personally.

perhaps back it in the blue you used on the shell so it matches.

ta mate.
Number of errors per shell is going down, as I gain a tad more experience each time. Could do with some decent stickers though. Limiting myself to black n white ones so they tie in nicely. Here's another recent one.... again, simple, but nice colours.... ![]() ![]()

dug my old thread out so my progress can be seen.
Here's my latest S2 shell painted up for my darling VEGA ... ![]() ![]() DSC01640 by eterrier, on Flickr ![]() DSC01641 by eterrier, on Flickr ![]() DSC01642 by eterrier, on Flickr First time I've cut all the lines by hand rather than by using a trim tape underneath the liquid mask - I won't be going back either. Just takes a bit of courage. Really please with the results, and credit to Mr Miller whose designs I used for a spot of influence. Feedback welcome !! ![]()
