You can get down to 0.2mm thin art markers to do them, and the work is great- I don't see it all being freehand but the method really does not matter to me!mrlexan wrote:How do you do/get the thin black line outlines? By hand? Anyone know?

To think I payed for painted bodies because of those thin lines and all it takes is a paint stick.

A paint stick and the right slide of hand... you don't want it to look like your 3 year old drew the Silly Rabbit on the hood.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.

Re: When does lexan become art?
that flame job looks like a wrap, cool but ??
as for the thin lines in the old days a sharpie was the tool
however there is a technique to airbrushing then on the inside
it may be a while but I'll post up when I do the next one
actually I need to get enough posts to post pics

Re: When does lexan become art?
I use to tape 2 exacto blades together and cut the liquid mask. I modified my exacto to hold the 2 blades...but I noticed that sometimes, holding it by hand gave me more control.mrlexan wrote:How do you do/get the thin black line outlines? By hand? Anyone know?
