Colin,Ian thank you and Colin its staying satin,well mostly thinking of doing 2 tone with the top color being the metallic lime green pearl. We'll see how the 'real' flames come out and how frustrated I get doing them first!
I won the battle of the bugs today and got the satin black down
Then the dreaded wiring and fuel line job was next,pretty pleased with the results
Great looking engine and paint trey, cant wait to see the lime pearl on top. I reckon the green /satin black 2 tone would look perfect , with or without flames , cheers tony
I quite like that effect, looks like a raging inferno sweeping down the sides.
If you're on the fence with it, is it because it's all one tone/colour? .... if so then could you use a darker red (or even an orange or muted yellow) to apply some "shadowing" to each of the flames.
Thanks for the tips and suggestions you are all spot on about the different shades! Well all was going okay until the a/b decided to spit on it(geuss it was'nt happy with them either) in the process of trying to fix the spatter I made a complete mess and decided to just cut my losses and start over.
I tried a different approach and layered the colors
Its a bit too busy now IMHO but I'm burned out with it and just going to roll with what I've got. Andy I doubt Stallone would want to sit in it now
"Everything happens for a reason" Trey ... give that airbrush an extra special little polish for messing up the first attempt, cos this second job is absolutely fantastic !!!
