- Thank you! I know most guys will use spray paint but I wanted to give my hand painting skills a shot! — Zizzer_Prime
When it's screaming down the track at 400kmh, no one will notice if it's hand painted, spray painted or done with crayons.
It looks great!
Welcome to the community!
I think it looks fine. I hand paint a lot of stuff.
sometimes the part is too detailed to spray can it,
(some cans are over excited about spewing paint...lol)
predicting how colors work on a car can sometimes fool you
because the shape of the car changes how the colors interact.
In the '80's I painted my challenger (real car) 2 tone green (med green pearl, dark green details)
it looked great, except the hood. (with the bulge aka rallye hood)
I could never get the look right, always looked cartoony/dumb/or asymetrical from the front
over the summer, I sware I painted that hood 4 times, and finally left it the med green.
then it didn't look right with all the 2 tone,
so I shot the whole car over again, never tried a multicolor again
My joke that summer was when people asked how much paint it takes to paint a car;
"I'm on my 3rd gallon, and it still ain't done, don't ask me"
