Need to start playing with my airbrush again, can paint is getting old-

Looks pretty damn good to me

Good choice of color, the yellow highlights the green/white transition perfectly Not bad for a spray can job!

Sweet, one of the best rattle can paint jobs I've ever seen.

x2! I like the second one even better. A few battle scars always make things look a little better. My only beef with rattle cans is the expense. It's cheaper to buy a custom painted shell. Not as fun though. It would be nice if there was an inexpensive alternative... or maybe I just need to learn to use thinner coats.

Reggie, for the yellow shading vs window frame... you did first the yellow (a) shading, then white (b), then you peeled off some of the window masks, then more yellow (c), then more white? how did you prevent the c yellow from showing through the B white?

I'm thinking about copying some of this scheme for a car of mine, with orange/red rather than green, but still with yellow...

thanks It's very nice indeeed!

I masked all but the Metallic green, shot that and then trimmed out for the flourescent green and shot it, then cut out the window lines and hit them with yellow and then pulled the rest of the masking off and shot the fade (with a fan on the shell to minimize the fogging) then the white
