Here are my two rattle can attempt for my RC10 ladies.
I think it is not to bad for a rattle can

Would be nice to get feedback from more experienced painter

you do this with SPRAY's??? Holy cow man, you're good indeed! they're great!

This is good stuff

Those turned out great! Nice job!

Nice work!

With good masking skills, rattle cans can do just fine.

That is amazing for rattle cans! RU seeing this VAE?

Not to take anything away from the second one. But that first one is

As stated above, unbelievable work for a rattlecan cowboy!

Paint can Picasso

Cool!!!! Don

I am simply amazed that you did those with rattle cans! Awesome job!

Those look great, I also love the first one. Purple & orange are an eye-catching combo.

The masking process for rattle-cans or airbrushed paint is the same, you can do pretty intricate paint schemes with rattle-cans if you're good with the masking....the main problem I've found with some rattle-cans is the inconsistency of the spray. Some cans spray too thin, and some spit/splatter. For example, rattle-can Pactra CheZoom Teal is very bad for spitting & splattering.

The other advantages you get with airbrushing are custom color-mixing, and fine shading & thin line free-hand painting, which aren't always needed for mask-and-spray paintjobs.

Whow, I didn`t expect so much positive feedback Thank you very much to all of you!
It took a good amount of time for masking but the most time for finding a design that fit my ideas of a vintage paint style. I am a guy that is not so interested into modern style but much more into vintage style. I grew up and raced at this time and I must say the old days were much more colorful mixed with comic style and extremely nice and stylish decals. Today you won`t be able to find nice decals. Not a single company produces colorful decals like Novak did in the old days. I think they were decal kings back in their days. The first shell is also my personal favorite. It`s from one of my two worlds car projects. The purple/fluo red/pink and orange turns out as a really perfect combination. Combined with vintage decals it is perfect old team style that I love so much! The only problem as Coelacanth mentioned are fine details or shading which are nearly impossible with a rattle can. The orange is a mixture of coats btw. fluo yellow and pink. I think I should also try a airbrush for my next attempts because I love details, shading and transitions. All your feedback is a perfect motivation for me to do more shells, soon.

All the best

Thats some great work Raimund

I think you should invest in an airbrush. You obviously have the skill and patience for it to be worthwhile.

I really like the paint on both cars

Thank you urpaldan!

I´m going to buy a airbrush soon because I want to give my shells some more deails which are only possible with a airbrush!

Here are some more projects/recent cars from my garage. Each shell is done with rattle can.
